  1. 6. A re-investigation of hummocky moraine formed from ice sheet decay using geomorphological and sedimentological evidence in the Vomb area, southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Tim Bjermo; [2022]
    Keywords : glacial geomorphology; remote sensing; LiDAR; sedimentology; glacitectonite; deformation structures; hummocky moraine; quaternary geology; deglaciation; glacial geomorfologi; fjärranalys; sedimentologi; glacitektonit; deformationstrukturer; småkullig morän; backlandskap; moränlandskap; kvartärgeologi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with dead ice meltout and passive deglaciation.

  3. 7. P-cycling in sub-Arctic lakes – the importance of sediment release and retention

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Hanna Ravry; [2022]
    Keywords : phosphorus; sediment; oligotrophication;

    Abstract : Oligotrophication is generally caused by a decreased nutrient availability, usually due to phosphorous limitation. This is a phenomenon impacting the entire food web and at worst causing cascading alterations within an ecosystem. Lakes of the Northern Hemisphere have lately been documented to be subjected to oligotrophication (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 8. Sorption of novel side-chain fluorinated polymers to sediment - the impact of pH

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Hanna Erléus; [2022]
    Keywords : Scotchgard™; sorption; sediment; pH; side-chain fluorinated polymer surfactants; Lake Hjälmaren.;

    Abstract : Fluorinated compounds are produced on a large scale and their releases are contaminating the environment. Among these are side-chain fluorinated polymers found in technical mixtures of Scotchgard™, which are used as surfactants in fabric coating. READ MORE

  5. 9. Spatial resolution of methane production and ebullition in Lake Alsta

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Limnologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Evelina Hiltunen; [2021]
    Keywords : methane; ebullition; TN;

    Abstract : Freshwater ecosystems cover about 4 % of the Earth’s surface. Yet they are important components in the global C cycle, as they in addition to their within-lake primary production, receive and process organic matter loads originating from terrestrial environments. The boreal forest biome has the highest density of lakes globally. READ MORE

  6. 10. Nutrients and biota in a lake system before and after restoration; a data analysis of the Swedish eutrophication case study Växjösjön

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Cleo Bakker; [2021]
    Keywords : sustainable development; eutrophication; phosphorus; internal loading; aluminum; biomanipulation;

    Abstract : Eutrophication has proven to be a fundamental ecological problem for lakes and other bodies of water all around the world. The process of eutrophication can be defined as a lake containing increasing concentrations of nutrients from external and/or internal input over time. READ MORE
