11. The Metallicity Structure of the Milky Way Halo II : Characterising the distant halo substructure
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Observationell astrofysikAbstract : The Milky Way galaxy, like all spiral galaxies, is surrounded by a roughly spherical distribution of stars called the halo. The halo was largely formed when the galaxy merged with smaller galaxies. READ MORE

12. Brightest Cluster Galaxies in the Local Universe: Mergers, Interactions and the Implications for Galaxy Evolution
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/RymdteknikAbstract : Clusters of Galaxies are amongst the largest gravitationally bound structures in our Universe and consist of thousands of galaxies. It is in these gigantic systems where Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) are found, the most massive galaxies in our Universe. A BCG, as its name indicates, is the brightest galaxy in a cluster.

13. Coastal Response to Sea Level Rise in Ystad Municipality
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraAbstract : The globally accelerating sea-level rise poses a problem in coastal areas through, e.g., the erosion of sandy beaches. Due to this, buildings, infrastructure, and other values can be lost, making the future shoreline position important to project in coastal management. READ MORE

14. The hydrodynamic impacts of Estuarine Oyster reefs, and the application of drone technology to this study
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. READ MORE

15. Determining and analysing production losses due to ice on wind turbines using SCADA data
University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikAbstract : Wind turbines are becoming a more common sight and a more important part in the power grid. The benefits are mainly that wind energy is a renewable energy source and a single wind turbine can produce enough electricity to cover several households’ annual electricity need and not producing carbon dioxide as a rest product.
