  1. 1. Greenhouse gas emissions and carbon burial in a small pond

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Maria Carlson; [2023]
    Keywords : Pond; greenhouse gas; carbon dioxide; methane; nitrous oxide; flux; ebullition; carbon burial; Damm; växthusgas; koldioxid; metan; lustgas; flöde; ebullition; kolbindning;

    Abstract : There are a lot of uncertainties when it comes to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which affects society’s ability to effectively respond to climate change. Small ponds have been found to potentially play a large role in global warming. READ MORE

  3. 2. Short-Time Temporal Changes of CH4 Fluxes in Different Tropical Tree Species : In-situ research regarding methane emissions from inundation-adapted Amazonian tree species in Jardim Bot�nico do Rio de Janeiro.

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Emelie Athley; [2023]
    Keywords : Methane CH4 ; environment; greenhouse gas GHG ; emission; Amazonian tree species; tropical trees; wetland; flux; CH4 emission from plants; tree mediated CH4 emission; Global CH4 budget; environmental stressors; meteorological parameters; natural CH4 emissions;

    Abstract : Methane (CH4) is guaranteed to affect climate change and is essential in rising temperatures. Scientists have known for over two decades that wetlands emit CH4 to such an extent that it affects our climate. Tropical trees that grow in wetlands tend to emit or act as a conduit of CH4, to the extent that it has a negative environmental impact. READ MORE

  4. 3. Methane and Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Three Smallscale Hydropower Stations in South of Sweden

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Edevardt Johan Danielsen; Alexandra Jonsson Valderrama; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydropower; Reservoir; Freshwater; automated Flux chambers; Emissions; Ebullition; Diffusion; Greenhouse gases; GHGs; Methane; CH4; Carbon dioxide; CO2; Dissolved oxygen; DO; Variability; Spatial; Temporal; Dissolved inorganic carbon.; Vattenkraft; Reservoar; Sötvatten; automatiserade Fluxkammare; Utsläpp; Ebullition; Diffusion; Växthusgaser; GHHs; Metan; CH4; Koldioxid; CO2; Löst syre; DO; Variabilitet; Rumslig; Temporal; Löst oorganiskt kol.;

    Abstract : Over the past decades, evidence show that the anthropogenetic greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) are the main drivers behind global warming and are becoming stronger. Globally, hydropower is among the main sources of renewable energy and the popular notion that hydropower electricity is carbon neutral has been under debate as evidence from measurements in different regions of the globe show significant and highly variable carbon emissions from hydropower reservoirs.

  5. 4. Greenhoue gas flux over a 50-year post permafrost thaw gradient. Decomposition of soil organic carbon from the Swedish tussock tundra.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johan Martinelli; [2020-02-11]
    Keywords : greenhouse gas; permafrost;

    Abstract : As the globe is warming the extent of permafrost drastically decreases in the high latitudes. Upon thaw the stored soil organic carbon (SOC) undergoes rapid decomposition and is partly released as trace gases to the atmosphere. READ MORE

  6. 5. Variability of summer CH4 and CO2 flux rates in and between three large Swedish lakes : A spatio-temporal field study

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Isak Nilsson; Filip Seifarth; [2020]
    Keywords : Large lakes; Freshwater; Flux chambers; Emissions; Ebullition; Diffusion; Carbon cycle; Carbon budget; Methane budget; Greenhouse gases; GHGs; Methane; CH4; Carbon dioxide; CO2; Variability; Spatial; Temporal; Stora sjöar; sötvatten; flödeskammare; utsläpp; bubblor; diffusion; kolcykel; kolbudget; metanbudget; växthusgaser; metan; CH4; koldioxid; CO2; variabilitet; rumslig; tidsmässig;

    Abstract : Understanding of natural greenhouse gas (GHG) cycles is crucial for making GHG budgets, which work as basis in climate change and global warming policy programs. Lakes as a source for GHG activity have only recently been included in global GHG budgets, and most studies of lake GHG flux rates are conducted on lakes <10 km2, which only comprise roughly half of the global lake area—making data of large lake flux rates scarce.
