  1. 16. Assessment of a sediment management solution in a reservoir with a sluicing technique using a HEC-RAS 2D model : Case study of Andakílsá river in west Iceland

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Emilía Sól Gudgeirsdóttir; [2023]
    Keywords : SediCon Sluicer; Andakílsá Hydropower Station; HEC-RAS 2D Sediment modelling; Sustainable sediment management; SediCon Sluicer; Andakílsá vattenkraftverk; HEC-RAS 2D Sediment Modellering; Hållbar sedimenthantering;

    Abstract : Sediment-related issues in reservoirs can often pose significant challenges to their operational effectiveness, sustainability, and environmental impact. Sustainable sediment management can help resolve these issues and extend the lifespan of dams. READ MORE

  3. 17. Petrography of impactites from the Dellen impact structure, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Robert Mroczek; [2023]
    Keywords : Dellen; Impact; structure; magnetite; apatite; shock waves; shock-metamorphic; features; Impactite; petrography; scanning electron microscope; SEM; geology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Identification and characterization of shock-metamorphic features in hypervelocity impact craters is important for our understanding of how shock waves interact with geologic materials and how impact craters form, which in turn is essential to our understanding of what role impact cratering played in the development of our solar system. Of particular interest are accessory minerals like apatite, which contains various volatiles that can affect the atmosphere of a body, or magnetite whose magnetic properties constitute a remote sensing indicator which allows us to study and understand the internal structures of distant bodies.

  4. 18. INVESTIGATION OF PHOSPHORUS SORPTION BY SEDIMENT DERIVED BIOCHAR - A LITERATURE REVIEW

    University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknik

    Author : Christina Henricson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As excess phosphorus in water bodies causes eutrophication, biochar can be used as an adsorbent to remove phosphorus from water, thus increasing the circularity of phosphorus in the society. This literature review is a summary of recent research on optimised uptake of phosphorus by sediment derived biochar. READ MORE

  5. 19. A plant-based milk powder that functions as a substitution for regular milk powder

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Manon Scheffers; [2023]
    Keywords : spray drying; pant- based milk powder alternative; pea protein; food application; food engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This project tested the potential of plant based milk powders to function as an animal-based milk powder by testing them on multiple characteristics. The powders were produced using spray drying techniques, obtained using formulations differentiating in protein amount, ratio of maltodextrin:sucrose and two different protein sources. READ MORE

  6. 20. Effect of suspended sediment on embryos and larvae of the cold‐water coral Lophelia pertusa

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Charlie Havsblad; [2022-09-13]
    Keywords : Lophelia pertusa; Desmophyllum pertusum; suspended sediment; embryo; larvae;

    Abstract : The cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (syn. Desmophyllum pertusum) provides importanthabitats in deep-sea ecosystems, allowing for a biodiversity similar to that of tropical coral reefs. READ MORE
