4. Soil organic carbon storage, distribution and characteristics in two contrasting permafrostaffected environments : Evaluating the role of alpine and lowland tundra areas in the permafrost carbon feedback
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : An important portion of the large northern permafrost soil organic carbon (SOC) pool might be released into the atmosphere as greenhouse gases following permafrost thawing and subsequent SOC decomposition under future warming conditions, resulting in a warming amplification known as the permafrost carbon feedback. Improved knowledge about the amount, composition and distribution of the permafrost SOC pool is essential when assessing the potential magnitude and timing of the permafrost carbon feedback.

5. A Risk Assessment Analysis : The risk of saltwater intrusion into freshwater wells and the effects of a futuresea level rise on the Baltic Sea island of Öland
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : Freshwater is essential for a functional society and the human well-being. However, it should not be taken for granted. Freshwater aquifers in coastal are subject to current and future risk of becoming saltwater contaminated – reaching a tipping point. Freshwater security on islands is vulnerable. READ MORE
