  1. 1. The implication of a changing West Antarctic Ice Sheet on future sea levels and policymaking in Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Jonatan Åsén; My Pilfalk; [2023]
    Keywords : Protection; Policymaking; Sweden; WAIS; Kustskydd; Policy; Sverige; WAIS;

    Abstract : This paper examines the future possible consequences of rising sea levels primarily due to melting Antarctic ice sheets. An objective is to research suitable methods for handling rising sea levels in Sweden. READ MORE

  3. 2. Climate change adaptation and sea level rise : A comparative analysis of municipal climate change adaptation progress in southern Sweden

    University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekoteknik- och hållbart byggande

    Author : Sebastian Segge; [2022]
    Keywords : Lista:Sea level rise; climate change adaptation; municipal governance; municipal planning;

    Abstract : Global mean sea levels are expected to have increased with 0,43-0,84 meters by the year 2100, due to the effects of climate change. An observed increase in the speed of which sea levels are rising is further cause for concern for inhabitants of coastal communities, as threats of flooding, erosion and saltwater intrusion rapidly become more imminent, prompting protective adaptation measures to be considered.

  4. 3. Reconstructing Past Climate by Grain Size and Magnetic Susceptibility Analysis of Belgium Loess From the Late Quaternary

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Susanna Åberg; [2022]
    Keywords : aeolian dust; Romont; Europe; true loess line; past climate reconstruction; vindtransporterat stoft; Romont; Europa; true loess line; rekonstruktion av tidigare klimat;

    Abstract : Aeolian dust that gets deposited builds up loess sequences that cover 10% of the Earth's continents. Such sequences can be several metres thick with material deposited over thousands of years, and therefore act like archives of past climates. READ MORE

    Abstract : The Crateceous (85 Ma) MK1 pipe is part of the Tsabong kimberlite cluster located approximately550km south west of Gaborone and geologically found within the Kapvaal Craton. The Tsabongkimberlite field consists of 86 known kimberlites. The MK1 pipe is the largest of this cluster at 140ha,1. READ MORE

  6. 5. Holocene lake-level changes in the Siljan Lake District – Towards validation of von Post’s drainage scenario

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Savvas Paradeisis-Stathis; [2020]
    Keywords : Lake Siljan; Dalarna; basin isolation; catastrophic drainage; early Holocene; lake sediments; XRF scanning; C N ratio; magnetic susceptibility; pollen; Ancylus Lake; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Dalarna province in south-central Sweden shows a great variety of geological evidence from the Late Quaternary. A peculiar deglaciation pattern, along with unique hydrological conditions, has left a lot of space for speculations over the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the early Holocene. READ MORE
