  1. 16. A modeling study of the impact of climate change on temperature and oxygen profiles in three Swedish lakes

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ida Eriksson; [2017]
    Keywords : climate change; lake modeling; MyLake; temperature; oxygen; boreal lakes; DOC; water quality; anoxia; Klimatförändringar; modellering; MyLake; temperatur; syre; DOC; vattenkvalitet; syrebrist;

    Abstract : Climate change is one the greatest environmental challenges of our time, both due to direct eectssuch as global warming but also due to the potential of the climate acting as a driver for otherenvironmental problems. This thesis aims to evaluate the impact of climate change on thermal properties and the content and distribution of dissolved oxygen in boreal lakes. READ MORE

  3. 17. Gestaltning med öppet dagvatten i bostadsnära läge

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Cecilia Nerman; [2016]
    Keywords : dagvatten; öppen dagvattenhantering; bostadsgård; bostadsnära miljö; gestaltning;

    Abstract : För tillfället pågår den största urbaniseringsvågen i världshistorien. Mer än hälften av världens befolkning bor idag i städer och man räknar med att antalet människor boende i stadsmiljö kommer uppgå till fem miljarder år 2030. Det är således i städerna man kan göra de största miljö- och klimatvinsterna i framtiden. READ MORE

  4. 18. Numerical Modelling of Convective Snow Bands in the Baltic Sea Area

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Julia Jeworrek; [2016]
    Keywords : Shallow convection; extreme precipitation; Baltic Sea; SST; regional climate system modelling;

    Abstract : Convective snow bands develop commonly over the open water surface of lakes or seas when cold airgets advected from a continent. Enhanced heat and moisture fluxes from the comparatively warm waterbody trigger shallow convection and an unstable boundary layer builds up. READ MORE

  5. 19. United Nations Peacekeeping Operations as a Potential Hindrance to Peace in the Great Lakes Region of Africa: A case of the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) : MONUSCO as a Subconscious Spoiler in the Congolese Peace Process

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)

    Author : Innocent Amaese Lopor; [2016]
    Keywords : MONUSCO; DRC; Stabilization; Peace Process; UN Peacekeeping; Hindering; Spoilers;

    Abstract : As the Congolese conflict marks the 20th year, and the peace process 17 years, the apparent question is why is the search for peace in the DRC proving elusive? Spoilers and other impediments to the peace process in the DRC have been studied and UN peacekeepers have been operational in the country for nearly seventeen years, but the conflict continues. This study therefore seeks to understand the potential of UN peacekeeping to hinder the peace process in the DRC, and the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) constitutes a study case.

  6. 20. Palaeoenvironments of the Earliest (Middle Devonian) Tetrapod Trackways from the Holy Cross Mountains, Poland; Locomotion in a Terrestrial Setting?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Martin Qvarnström; [2015]
    Keywords : Tetrapods; palaeoenvironment; trackways; paleosols; microfacies; trace fossils; fin-limb transition; Holy Cross Mountains.;

    Abstract : The palaeoenvironment from which early tetrapods emerged is crucial to comprehend in order to understand the mechanisms that drove and allowed the terrestrialization of vertebrates; one of the most important evolutionary ‘events’ in the history of animals. Nevertheless, much of the terrestrialization is shrouded in obscurity, inter alia, due to scarcity of early tetrapods in the fossil record. READ MORE
