1. Loess as an Environmental Proxy for Reconstruction of Palaeoclimate in the High Arctic
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : We are currently speeding towards significant changes in the climate of the earth which, if ignored, will lead to severely altered climatic conditions with serious consequences for several species and ecosystems. The polar regions especially are very sensitive to climate changes, and the changes these regions undergo affect the climate on a global scale. READ MORE

2. A comparison between tomographic and generated open cell metal foam structures
University essay from Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaperAbstract : This master thesis project presents steps on the image processing and reconstruction of an aluminium open-cell metal foam from $\mu$CT tomographic data. In addition, it also considers the generation of architecture foams using Voronoi Tessellation in combination with sphere packing algorithms. READ MORE

3. CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE NORWAY SPRUCE TREELINE IN THE CENTRAL SCANDINAVIAN MOUNTAINS Treeline evolution, tree growth and a Blue Intensity summer temperature reconstruction
University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : In the context of global change, mountain regions have received increased interest in recent times with researchers trying to answer how such regions may be affected by a changing climate. Treeline environments are sensitive to the impacts of climate change which may significantly alter the characteristics of the regions. READ MORE

4. The Magnetic Properties and Fabrics of Upper Pleistocene Loess on La Motte, Jersey, and their Palaeoclimate Implications
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The island of Jersey is an interesting location for palaeoclimate reconstruction given the likely impact of variations in North Atlantic climate and European ice sheet extent during the last glacial period considering their proximal location. These last glacial climatic variations are recorded in the loess sequence from La Motte, Jersey and in order to reconstruct these changes, a detailed magnetic analysis was performed. READ MORE

5. Elemental variability in tree-rings as indicator for climate change : a case study on beech and oak trees at the Laacher See, Germany
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : The aim of this study was to contribute to the comprehension of the connection of element uptake in trees at the Laacher See in Germany and climatic parameters on different time scales. Understanding the relationship of certain elements in trees and temperature might enable the assignment of extraordinary high peaks in the elemental concentration, which cannot be explained by temperature, to another process as CO2 degassing of the mofettes, which are relics of the volcanic past of the lake.
