  1. 1. Longshore Sediment Transport Along the Coast of Ystad Municipality

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Isa Berin; Johanna Jacobson Löwdin; [2022]
    Keywords : Coastal erosion; sediment dynamics; longshore sediment transport; CERC; shoreline change; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The coast of Ystad municipality has historically been subject to erosion, leading to the loss of recreational areas and near-beach structures, consequently resulting in the implementation of mitigating measures. With the ongoing climate change, erosion is expected to continue. READ MORE

  3. 2. Loess in southwestern Sweden. Determining the genesis of the silt-rich layer rödfemman in Svartedalen nature reserve

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fanny Ekström; Anna Hedeving; [2021-10-28]
    Keywords : Loess; silt; grain-size distribution; bimodal; Optically Stimulated Luminescence OSL ; p-XRF; spatial distribution; paleowind;

    Abstract : The presence of loess in Sweden is relatively unexplored and has only been found in a few places. Loess acts as a paleoclimatic proxy, which in times of changing climates, is highly relevant. READ MORE

  4. 3. Coastal Response to Sea Level Rise in Ystad Municipality

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Elin Olsson; Sara Engström; [2021]
    Keywords : coastal erosion; Bruun Rule; sea level rise; coastal management; beach morphology; coastal processes; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : 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

  5. 4. 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 ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Oskar Evert Johansson; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Oyster Reef; Drone; UAV; Hydrodynamics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : 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

  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
