1. 16. Effect of resuspension on mineralisation of organic material : Laboratory studies of water movement intensity and concentration of suspended sediment

   University essay from Institutionen för tematisk utbildning och forskning

   Author : Charlotte Stenborg Larsson; [2005]
   Keywords : Mineralisation rate; organic material; resuspension; water movement intensity; suspended sediment;

   Abstract : The Earth’s surface contains of 71% oceans and a large part of the global carbon cycle takes place in the oceans. In the aquatic environment, the sediment-water interface plays an important role for the mineralisation of organic material. One factor that can affect the mineralisation is resuspension. READ MORE

3. 17. Pollen-stratigraphic position of the last Baltic Ice Lake drainage

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Felicia Dobos; [1997]
   Keywords : Baltic Ice Lake; second drainage; Preboreal; Younger Dryas; pollen stratigraphy; mineral magnetic content; total carbon content; Blekinge; Sweden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : High-resolution analyses of sediments from two sites in Blekinge, south-eastern Sweden (the former Lake Togölen and Lake Bredsjön), were evaluated in order to establish the pollenstratigraphical position of the second and final drainage of the Baltic Ice Lake in relation to the Younger Dryas-Preboreal pollen zone transition. Remanent magnetisation and magnetic susceptibility were used to correlate between parallel cores and to evaluate the amount of inorganic allochthonous material. READ MORE
