  1. 1. 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.

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Seismic activity and end- or post-glacial faults in northern Fennoscandia, focusing on Sweden

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

    Author : Kie Oyama; [2016]
    Keywords : Fennoscandia; seismicity; end post-glacial fault; deglaciation; glacial uplift;

    Abstract : During the late or post Weichselian glacial periods, about 9500 years ago, several faulting associated with large scale earthquakes were triggered in northern Fennoscandia. The end- or post-glacial scarps have a range of the lengths c. 3 to 155 km and the heights 0 to 30 m while most of them are reverse faults trending NE-SW with SE dips. READ MORE

  5. 4. Three-dimensional modeling of Quaternary sediments and valley morphology, Bollnäs, Sweden.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Veronica Nord; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This study demonstrates how to make and use a three dimensional model in GSI3D, based on well data from the Geological Survey of Sweden’s well archive. The objective is to determine if it is possible to show a supposed fault scarp, the Bollnäs fault, in the bedrock and the valley morphology in a 3D model based on the data available. READ MORE

  6. 5. Vegetationsutveckling och mänsklig aktivitet under äldre Stenålder vid Döudden, Arjeplog kommun

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

    Author : Nina Persson; [2004]
    Keywords : vegetationshistoria;

    Abstract : The landscape in the interior of Norrland has undergone dramatic changes since the deglaciation as a consequence of faultings, earthquakes and tilting of the landscape westwards. Archaeological investigations along former shorelines by the use of models of isostatic land uplift, have revealed many Mesolitic settlements in northern Sweden. READ MORE
