  1. 1. Carbon Flows in Sweden : A Substance Flow Analysis of anthropogenic carbon flows

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Sofia Gunnarsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Carbon; Carbon Flow; Carbon Stock; Substance Flow Analysis; Sweden; Industrial Ecology; Anthropogenic;

    Abstract : Carbon (C) is an essential element for all life. However, modern livestock keeping and usage of carbon through burning of fossil fuels are resulting in increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere, two important greenhouse gases (GHG). READ MORE

  3. 2. Lejarfjället Garnet(?) Peridotite – Origin and Petrological Characterization of Symplectitic Aggregates in Ultramafic Rocks

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Felicia Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : ultramafic; high-pressure metamorphism; peridotite; garnet breakdown; Scandinavian Caledonides; ultramafisk; högtrycks metamorfos; peridotit; granat; skandinaviska kaledoniderna;

    Abstract : Ultramafic rocks are abundant in the Earth’s mantle but rare on the surface. Since no in-situ samples from the mantle can be collected, mantle rocks provide knowledge of mechanisms operating in the mantle and large-scale processes that brought them up to the surface. READ MORE

  4. 3. The “ultramafic” Intrusion’s within the peridotite from Härbergsdalen : Petrological characterization of infiltration record within the lithospheric mantle

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Per Volter; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mantle constitutes ~80% of Earths volume, however, due to its location deep beneath Earth’s surface the mantle is inaccessible to study in situ. Despite this, we still have information about its composition thanks to seismic studies which haven proven the mantle to be in generally homogenous and dominated by a rock called peridotite.

  5. 4. Modelling the global water cycle – the effect of Mg-sursassite on the amount of globally subducted water

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Nils Benjamin Gies; [2021-07-05]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Subduction of hydrated lithospheric mantle is the most important process regarding the transfer of significant amounts of water to depths exceeding 350 km. Hence, the interplay of the thermal structure within the subducted slab together with the PT-stability fields of hydrous ultra-high pressure phases control the dehydration of the slab and the amount of water transported into the deeper mantle.

  6. 5. Fertile Wear : Underwear in relation to manufacturing toxicity, the ecosphere and our reproductive zones

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för design (DE)

    Author : Linnéa Nivrén; [2021]
    Keywords : Global manufacturing; Polyester; Cotton; Toxicity; Infertility; Reproductive health; Fertility; Local making; Craft; Collaboration; Sweden; Småland; Textiles; Revive; Flax; Alpaca fleece; Underwear; Decompose; Ecosphere; Sustainability; Change; Metadesign; Global tillverkning; Polyester; Bomull; Toxicitet; Infertilitet; Reproduktiv hälsa; Fertilitet; Lokal tillverkning; Hantverk; Samarbete; Sverige; Småland; Textilier; Återuppliva; Lin; Alpacka fleece; Underkläder; Nedbrytbar; Ekosfär; Hållbarhet; Förändring; Metadesign;

    Abstract : Every artifact in this consumerism world is connected to Earth’s four ecological layers. Everything around us, air, organism, water, and soil/rock also known by the names; atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. READ MORE
