  1. 6. Long term organic carbon dynamics in 17 Swedish lakes : The impact of acid deposition and climate change

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Jessica Lovell; [2015]
    Keywords : environmental monitoring; climate change; sulfate deposition; total organic carbon TOC ; VNIRS; trend analysis; multivariate data analysis; PLS; miljöövervakning; klimatförändringar; sulfat deposition; organiskt kol; TOC; VNIRS; trendanalys; multivariat data analys; PLS;

    Abstract : During the last three decades, a number of studies based on national environmental monitoring data have found increased concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC) in surface waters in much of the northern hemisphere including Sweden. There are many hypothesis of what has been the main cause of this trend, including changes in land use, decreased atmospheric deposition of acidifying compounds and climate change. READ MORE

  3. 7. Assessing the impacts of climate change on runoff along a climatic gradient of Sweden using PERSiST

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Tobias Salmonsson; [2013]
    Keywords : Climate change; runoff; PERSiST; climatic gradient; spring flood; Klimatförändringar; avrinning; PERSiST; klimatgradient; vårflod;

    Abstract : Climate change is a well-studied subject but large uncertainties still exist in future projections. These uncertainties are even larger on future runoff projections at catchment scales due to the differences in local landscape factors. READ MORE

  4. 8. Blå vägens glasbjörkar : från groning till allé

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Ewa Weise; [2010]
    Keywords : Betula; björkallé; Västerbotten; Arboretum Norr; frövila; stratifiering; frögroning; tillväxt; klimatgradient; birch alley; seed dormancy; stratification; seed germination; growth; climatic gradient;

    Abstract : Det här projektet består av en litteraturstudie på trädformig björk (Betula) i Sverige, samt en studie av glasbjörk (B. pubescens) längs en klimatgradient genom Norra Sverige och Norge. Längs den studerade gradienten skiljer sig vegetationsperiodens längd med över en månad i den kallaste delen av gradienten jämfört med den varmaste. READ MORE

  5. 9. Beach processes and recent sea-level changes at Tönsneset, Kongsfjorden, northwestern Spitsbergen

    University essay from Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

    Author : Jonas Svensson; [2010]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Beaches occur throughout the coastal regions of the world. Ridges found on beachescan be used as indicators of past climatic and oceanographic conditions. Sea-levelchanges can also be extrapolated from these landforms, if the correct conditions occur, when the facies between eolian and intertidal sediments can be found. READ MORE

  6. 10. The wind climate of northwestern Europe in SWECLIM regional climate scenarios

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Agneta Andersson; [2001]
    Keywords : cartography; pedology; geomorphology; greenhouse effect; physical geography; modelling; climate change; climatology; naturgeografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The effects of a global climatic change on the wind climate of northwestern Europe are investigated with the aid of a regional climate model. There have up to date been few studies of how the wind climate will react to a greenhouse gas warming. READ MORE
