  1. 16. THE FIRST ACTIVE ACID SULFATE SOIL FOUND OUTSIDE THE BALTIC BASIN, IN VISKA VALLEY WEST COAST OF SWEDEN

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Johanna Bergström; [2023-09-15]
    Keywords : Acid sulfate soil; AS soil; ERT measurements; resistivity; Baltic basin; Swedish west coast; acidification; Tapes transgression;

    Abstract : Acid sulfate (AS) soils are naturally formed but are responsible for environmental problem due to its low pH. Drainage of active AS soils can lead to mobilization of harmful metals and a severe pH drop in nearby aquatic environments, which in turn may harm the ecological conditions. READ MORE

  3. 17. The use of regurgitated pellets from the great cormorant to detect the presence of the round goby

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Tim Dorup; [2023-08-07]
    Keywords : Invasive species; Regurgitated pellets; Great cormorant; Round goby; dPCR;

    Abstract : The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is an invasive alien species that poses one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and ecosystem services in Sweden today. The round goby originates from the Black Sea and Caspian Sea but has in recent decades rapidly spread with global shipping traffic to new areas in Europe and North America. READ MORE

  4. 18. Predicting Chemical-Gene Interactions

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Ali Chishti; [2023-08-04]
    Keywords : Pesticides; Small streams; Prediction modelling; Chemical-protein-gene interactions; Aquatic organisms;

    Abstract : Pesticide use in agriculture has become a growing concern as it can have detrimental effects on the environment. The excessive use of these chemicals often leads to them seeping into nearby water bodies, causing harm to aquatic organisms. READ MORE

  5. 19. Optimization of the Supply Chain Network design by using scenario planning to build resilience.

    Author : Alexander Santos Collantes Taqueda; Johan Vinge; [2023-07-03]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Different geopolitical tensions, economic upheavals and operational instability make the logistics network challenging to manage against disruptions. These events can make the network see an escalation in cost and resources needed, and the time to recover from these disruptions and stabilize the network. READ MORE

  6. 20. Estimating historic ranges of extinct scavenging birds from North America during the late Pleistocene using co-occurrence data from the fossil record

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Melissa Miranda; [2023-06-30]
    Keywords : Scavenging birds; Vultures; Co-occurrence Data; Range Estimates; Spatial Autoregressive Models; Co-extinction;

    Abstract : The aim of my study was to estimate and compare the historic range of nine scavenging birds from North America that went jointly extinct with their mammalian megafaunal prey in the Late Pleistocene. Although the severity and timing of their co-extinction are strongly correlated, there has been little analytical support in providing estimates for the possible geographic distribution of scavenging birds prior to the extinction event.
