  1. 11. The role of agricultural drainage in controlling the effectiveness of two-stage ditches in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Neerajaa Nagarajan; [2021]
    Keywords : Subsurface drainage; Absorbance flourescence spectroscopy; Suspended sediments; NO3N; NH4N; PO4P; TP values; DOM indices;

    Abstract : Increased agricultural activities are causing eutrophication in downstream water bodies. To mitigate nutrient leaching from cropland, various in-field and edge-of-field practices have been implemented. READ MORE

  3. 12. Den shifting behaviour of female wolverines (Gulo gulo) in Northern Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Author : Rick Heeres; [2020]
    Keywords : wolverine; Gulo gulo; den; denning; denning behaviour; den shifts; habitat; environmental conditions; female experience; resource availability; survival analysis; reproduction; snow; climate;

    Abstract : Many species of mammals make use of “den sites” for multiple purposes. Wolverine (Gulo gulo) females give birth to and rear their cubs in den sites during the denning season (February to June, hereafter denning season). READ MORE

  4. 13. 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

  5. 14. Simulation of Leachate Generation from a Waste Rock Dump in Kiruna Using HYDRUS-1D

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Aryani Atmosudirdjo; [2019]
    Keywords : Hydrus-1D; matrix flow; leachate; unsaturated flow; waste rock dump;

    Abstract : The percolation of water through waste rock dumps at mine sites can lead to the production of a leachate with high concentrations of dissolved metals, sulfate and nitrogen compounds. It is important to understand how water flows in waste rock dumps in order to predict the environmental impact of this leachate on recipients. READ MORE

  6. 15. Hydrologic modelling of the Zackenberg river basin : an applied study using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Malin Ahlbäck; [2018]
    Keywords : Greenland; SWAT; High Arctic; Distributed Hydrologic Modelling; GIS; surface Water; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Since the 1980s, the Arctic has experienced an amplified warming of more than twice the rate of the global-mean, leading to large-scale changes in the Arctic hydrologic system, ultimately having cascading feedbacks on the global climate. However, few of today’s distributed models manage to capture the complex processes in Arctic hydrology, and therefore, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate the usage of the distributed Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, to see whether it could capture the different surface water paths and processes characterizing the Arctic water cycle.
