1. 1. Investigating the potential correlations between metal and metalloid concentrations and soil color : A Minor Field Study on the island province of Marinduque, Philippines

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Ivana Pia Saric Söderholm; Erik Readwin; [2023]
   Keywords : Marinduque; Metal and Metalloid; Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor; Philippines; Soil color; X-Ray Fluorescence XRF ; Filippinerna; Jordfärg; Marinduque; Metall och Metalloid; Nix Pro 2 Color Sensor; Röntgenfluorescens XRF ;

   Abstract : This study was carried out as a bachelor's thesis at KTH Royal Institute of Technology during the spring of 2023, investigating the correlation between the color with the concentration of various metal and metalloids (MMs) in the soil of Marinduque, The Philippines. With a history of mineral exploitation, notably copper and gold, the island has faced persistent environmental challenges, exemplified by the catastrophic waste spills in 1993 and 1996 that contaminated the Boac and Mogpog Rivers.

3. 2. Silver Mineralogy and Modes of Occurrence at the Silver Hart Deposit, South East Yukon.

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

   Author : Michael Ives-Ruyter; [2023]
   Keywords : Canada; Yukon; silver; lead; zinc; galena; sulfosalt; sulfur isotope;

   Abstract : The Silver Hart property is a high grade silver-lead-zinc deposit consisting of polymetallic vein style, manto (carbonate replacement) style, and skarn type mineralization. Host rock consists of calcareous and non-calcareous sediments of the Cassiar Platform, mainly biotite schists, limestone units, and the monzogranite unit of the Cassiar Batholith. READ MORE

4. 3. Digging Deeper: Exploring Roads to Inclusive Development Through Mine Closure Policy and Practices in the Dominican Republic

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Author : Bianca Terrero Vega; [2023]
   Keywords : mine closure; inclusive development; mineral governance; community engagement; energy transition metals; just transitions.; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : Mining operations have significant environmental and social impacts, including ecosystem fragmentation, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social issues such as low wages and unsafe working conditions. Despite these negative effects, mining plays a crucial role in the transition to low-carbon technologies and the demand for energy transition minerals is expected to surge. READ MORE

5. 4. Energy audit of a single-family house in a city in the middle of Sweden

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Daniela Valentina García Gimeno; [2023]
   Keywords : energy audit; building energy efficiency; building envelope; renewable sources; windows efficiency; insulation of houses in Sweden;

   Abstract : The world is currently submerged in two big problems: supply energy crisis and climate change. It is clear that society has to do its best to overcome these challenges, and one effective way to mitigate their effects is by conducting an energy audit, which helps to identify the weaknesses and strengths of the buildings, enabling improvements in their thermal efficiency.

6. 5. Reconstructing Past Climate by Using XRF and Loss of Ignition on Loess from Adventdalen, Svalbard : Rekonstruktion av tidigare klimat genom attanvända XRF analys och antändningsförlust på lössavlagringar från Adventdalen, Svalbard

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Albin Andreasson; Noa Lind; [2023]
   Keywords : Svalbard; loess soil; XRF; weathering; climate change;

   Abstract : By analyzing the texture, composition and chemical composition of loess soils, the reconstruction ofpast climate regimes is enabled, which can improve our understanding of current and future climatechange. Properties such as grain size and composition, mineralogy, organic matter and chemicalcomposition can provide information about which environmental factors were present during thedeposition of the sediment, which can lead to a detailed picture of the climate history of a site.
