    University essay from Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

    Author : Martine Deinum; [2023]
    Keywords : Marine spatial planning; urban planning; blue space; program theory; citizen interaction; coastal conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Rapid coastal urbanization and declining marine biodiversity rates are complex problems that require broad, integrated sets of solutions.

    Author : Sara Andersson; [2023]
    Keywords : stable isotopes; snow; precipitation; hydrology; orography; earth science;

    Abstract : Stable isotopes of oxygen (O18) and hydrogen (H2) are used as proxies of past climates when ice preserved in the polar icecaps. The main assumption when doing paleoclimatic reconstructions using these isotopes is that the isotopic composition of the snow that turned into ice reflect the present temperature of the planet during deposition.
