  3. 7. Geochemical and palaeomagnetic characteristics of a Swedish Holocene sediment sequence from Lake Storsjön, Jämtland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Joakim Robygd; [2015]
    Keywords : Jämtland; geochemistry; palaeomagnetism; PSV; sedimentation rate; Holocene development; geochronology; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : As a part of a French-Swedish collaboration project to reconstruct middle to northern European climate variations during the Holocene, a sediment sequence from Lake Storsjön, Jämtland was retrieved and analysed for geochemical and palaeomagnetic properties. The subsampled sequence, composed of one freeze core and three Niederreiter piston cores, revealed information of both climatic, environmental and anthropogenic changes over the past 10,800 years.

  5. 9. Organic carbon fluxes in a boreal catchment : spatial study of bioavailability and importance of the riparian zone

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and Assessment

    Author : Sonja Maehder; [2012]
    Keywords : Total organic carbon TOC; Dissolved organic carbon DOC; absorbance ratio; SUVA; riparian zone RZ; boreal catchment; RIM; Krycklan; bioavailability;

    Abstract : Organic carbon as an important water quality factor was investigated in 13 riparian zones (RZs) and 14 stream sites in the 67 km2 boreal Krycklan catchment in Northern Sweden during 2008 to 2009. For comparisons of up- and downslope locations, also three sites with different distances to the stream were analysed. READ MORE
