  1. 26. Surface crevasses on Svalbard: Spatial Distribution Analysis with Focus on the Lomonosovfonna Ice Cap

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Monika Hawrylak; [2021]
    Keywords : crevasses; spatial distribution; model; glacier velocity; Lomonosovfonna; Svalbard;

    Abstract : Understanding the formation mechanics of glacial crevasses is crucial in a variety of glacial applications. Besides being a serious safety hazard during field campaigns, crevasses influence calving rates, mass balance, and the hydrological network of glaciers. READ MORE

  3. 27. An Overview of State-of-the-art Hydraulic Conductivity Measurements in Coarse Grained Materials

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jakob Andrén; [2021]
    Keywords : hydraulic conductivity; permeability; embankment dam; coarse grained; flow regime; hydraulisk konduktivitetsmätning; permeabilitet; fyllnadsdamm; grovkorniga material; flödesregim;

    Abstract : Embankment dams are made from soil materials of varying sizes and widely used all over the world.When constructing these, knowing the hydraulic conductivity (K) of the soil materials is a keyparameter in order to construct safe embankment dams. A knowledge gap regarding K measurementsin coarse grained soils has been identified. READ MORE

  4. 28. The Significance of Giant Flank Collapses on Magma Ascent in the NE Rift Zone of Tenerife, Canary Islands: A Structural Modelling and Diffusion Approach

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Kristoffer Ånäs; [2021]
    Keywords : Tenerife; volcanic rift zones; analogue gelatine experiments; dykes; Fe-Mg diffusion; ankaramite; Teneriffa; vulkaniska sprickzoner; analoga gelatinexperiment; gångar; Fe-Mg diffusion; ankaramit;

    Abstract : On the volcanic ocean island Tenerife in the Canary archipelago, several giant flank collapses haveoccurred over the last one million years. The link between the lateral collapses and the resultingvolcanism in the rift zones is not fully understood and was investigated within the framework of thisproject. READ MORE

  5. 29. Comparison of spatial partitioning data structures in crowd simulations

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Jakob Kratz; Viktor Luthman; [2021]
    Keywords : Radius Search; Spatial Partitioning; Agent- Based Simulation; Boids; Grid; Kd- Tree; Quadtree; Maximum Velocity; Radius Search; Spatial Partitioning; Agent- Based Simulation; Boids; Grid; Kd- Tree; Quadtree; Maximum Velocity;

    Abstract : This report investigates how the construction and query time of multiple spatial partitioning data structures is impacted by spatial distribution of and number of agents in a crowd simulation. In addition a method is investigated for updating the data structures less frequently at the cost of increasing the radius queried, without affecting the correctness of the queries. READ MORE

  6. 30. The Effect of Gravitational Encounters on Binary Planetesimals

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : John Gillan; [2021]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Binary planetesimals in the Kuiper belt can experience close encounters with other bodies. These encounters can disturb the orbital dynamics of the binary in several ways. Energy can be added to the system by the impactor body and lead to the disruption of the binary. READ MORE
