  1. 21. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Duncan Jones; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Habitat Modelling; Harbour Porpoise; MaxEnt; Tidal Processes; Conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur.

  3. 22. Numerical modeling of airflow on the cathode-side of a bipolar flow plate : How the formed geometry affects the pressure drop and flow distribution in a hydrogen fuel cell

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Olivia Johansson; [2023]
    Keywords : Performance; Cross-sectional geometry; Computational fluid dynamics;

    Abstract : Climate change and rising temperatures is a well-known problem. To tackle global warming a transition from fossil fuels to renewable and reliable energy sources is necessary. Hydrogen, in fuel cells, is proposed to replace diesel and gasoline in the transport sector. READ MORE

  4. 23. Solar PV Integrated with Seasonal Thermal Storage and District Heating

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för energivetenskaper

    Author : Lovisa Thalén; Hannah Ekström; [2023]
    Keywords : Solar PV; power-to-heat; heat pump; electric boiler; thermal seasonal storage; district heating; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In order to contribute to reaching the climate goals of the future, power-to-heat (P2H) technologies are a possible solution. A heat pump (HP) or an electric boiler (EB) can be used to produce warm water by utilising cheap electricity from photovoltaic (PV) parks in the summer when there are many hours of sunlight.

  5. 24. Change in uptake and transfer of zinc in the food chain when predatory fish disappear from the system

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Westerström; [2023]
    Keywords : Aquatic food web; Food chain structure; Trophic transfer; Decline of top predators; Stage-structured biomass model; Pollutants; Heavy metals; Zinc; Akvatisk födoväv; Födovävsstruktur; Trofisk överföring; Minskning av toppredatorer; Stegstrukturerad biomassamodell; Föroreningar; Tungmetaller; Zink;

    Abstract : There is a widespread distribution of possibly toxic heavy metals, such as zinc, in aquatic ecosystems. Simultaneously aquatic food webs are changing due to declining predatory fish stocks. READ MORE

  6. 25. From Ocean to Table: Microplastic contamination in Nordic salts

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Author : Anna Nyika; [2023]
    Keywords : Microplastic MP ; MP pollution; plastic pollution; sea salt; rock salt; Nordics; Iceland; Denmark; plastic waste management; human health; marine environment.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Large amounts of plastic in the oceans originate from mismanaged plastic waste, and microplastics (MPs) are the most common type of waste. They can be found in household products, such as sea salts. Therefore, monitoring pollution levels is essential to improve marine health and food safety. READ MORE
