1. 16. Looking at Noise: Human Ecological Issues when Assessing the Impact of Seismic Surveys Effects on Oceanic Whales

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Humanekologi

   Author : Alice Edwall; [2016]
   Keywords : Airguns; Cetaceans; Anthropocentrism; Anthropogenic noise; Marine noise pollution; Marine sound pollution; Seismic surveys; Uexküll; Umwelt; Whales; Social Sciences;

   Abstract : This thesis introduces different issues regarding the impact of anthropogenic sound pollution on oceanic cetaceans (whales). It involves looking at the problems of anthropocentrism and the notion of Umwelt when trying to assess the well-being of a western culturally important species, and the relationship between that species and the industrialization of the ocean.

3. 17. Petrophysical and GeophysicalAnalysis of Ordovician Limestone Mounds for the Purpose of Hydrocarbon Reservoir Exploration : Petrofysisk och geofysisk analys av Ordoviciska kalkstensstrukturer för hydrokarbonprospektering

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Felix Söderberg; [2015]
   Keywords : Gotland; hydrocarbons; Ordovicium; mounds; reefal structures; Hydrokarbon; revstruktur; slamhög; ordovicium; Gotland;

   Abstract : Gripen Oil & Gas have extended their prospecting license on Gotland to the north end of the island to search for potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. Earlier prospecting has shown that limestone mound structures from Ordovicium have high potential as hydrocarbon reservoirs due to their antiformal shape and the petrophysical properties of the limestone.

5. 19. Determination of an Optimum Sector Size for Plan Position Indicator Measurements using a Long Range Coherent Scanning Atmospheric Doppler LiDAR

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Elliot Simon; [2015]
   Keywords : LiDAR; WindScanner; PPI; Sector Scan; Dual Doppler; Remote Sensing; Wind Measurement;

   Abstract : As wind energy plants continue to grow in size and complexity, advanced measurement technologies such as scanning Doppler LiDAR are essential for assessing site conditions and prospecting new development areas.   The RUNE project was initiated to determine best practices for the use of scanning LiDARs in resource assessments for near shore wind farms.

6. 20. Comparative study of established test methods for aggregate strength and durability of Archean rocks from Botswana

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Stålheim Jessica; [2014]
   Keywords : Los Angeles value; aggregate crushing value; aggregate impact value; 10 percent aggregate crushing value test; mean grain size; mean grain size distribution;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Comparative study of established test methods for aggregate strength and durabilityof Archean rocks from Botswana In the current situation, river sand is used for building of roads and as raw material forconcrete in Botswana. River sand is a finite resource and important to preserve as itacts as natural water purification, groundwater aquifer and protection against soil erosion. READ MORE
