  1. 1. Intercomparison of a Dynamic Ocean for Earth-like Aqua-planets

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Fredrik Plane; [2022]
    Keywords : Astrobiology; Planets; Aqua-planets; Atmosphere and Ocean physics; Exoplanet; Habitability; General Circulation Model; GCM; Climate Modelling; Dynamic Ocean;

    Abstract : I present herein an ensemble of ROCKE-3D aqua-planet simulations which I compare with the simulations presented in the work of Yang et al. (2019) and other similar works. The focus was on contrasting differences in the greenhouse effect between the models. READ MORE

  3. 2. Climate Simulations of an Exoplanet with a Slab Ocean: A 3D Model Intercomparison of various GCMs

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Moa Biserud; [2022]
    Keywords : Climate simulations; GCM; ROCKE-3D; Exoplanet; Slab Ocean; Qflux=0;

    Abstract : Three-dimensional (3D) planetary general circulation models (GCMs) have been derived from global climate models used to project 21st century changes in Earth's climate. GCMs are used to address questions regarding the climate-and habitability aspects of terrestrial planets within the solar system and assess the habitability of planets outside of the solar system, so called exoplanets.

    Keywords : accretionary orogen; Atlantica; Birimian event; supercontinent cycle; Lomagundi-Jatuli event; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The crystalline basement of the West African Craton (WAC) was established during the Siderian to Orosirian (circa 2.35-1.95 Ga) Birimian event through accretion of extensive tracts of juvenile crust that was tectonically juxtaposed with Archean cratons. READ MORE

  5. 4. Chromite in serpentine mud volcanoes of the Mariana forearc: Implications for abiotic organic reactions

    University essay from Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

    Author : Iga Sagatowska; [2010]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Mariana convergent plate margin is a non- accretionary subduction system in the western Pacific Ocean. Subduction of the Pacific plate causes dissolution of carbonate minerals releasing inorganic carbon, and causes dehydration of hydrous minerals in the subducted slab, generating hydrous fluids.
