1. Subakvatisk åsbildning med exempel från sydöstra Dalarna
Sammanfattning : InledningSedan andra världskrigets slut men framför allt sedan mitten av 50-talet har det skett en markant ökning av grusförbrukningen, varför ett stort antal grustäkter nyöppnats och andra utvidgats under denna tid (Olsson 1960, 1962, 1964). Huvuddelen av den ökade grusbrytningen har skett i de tätast befolkade delarna av landet i åsar under HK. LÄS MER
2. Subsurface fluxes of mass and energy at the accumulation zone of Lomonosovfonna ice cap, Svalbard
Sammanfattning : Glaciers cover ca 10% of the Earth's land and are found in the high altitudes and latitudes. They are important components of environmental systems due to the multiple feedbacks linking them with the atmosphere, hydrosphere and periglacial landscapes. LÄS MER
3. The role of inland waters in the carbon cycle at high latitudes
Sammanfattning : Understanding the drivers of climate change requires knowledge about the global carbon (C) cycle. Although inland waters play an important role in the C cycle by emitting and burying C, streams and lakes are in general overlooked in bottom-up approached C budgets. LÄS MER
4. Geographical Distribution of Disasters Caused by Natural Hazards in Data-scarce Areas : Methodological exploration on the Samala River catchment, Guatemala
Sammanfattning : An increasing trend in both the number of disasters and affected people has been observed, especially during the second half of the 20th century. The physical, economic and social impact that natural hazards have had on a global scale has prompted an increasing interest of governments, international institutions and the academia. LÄS MER
5. Modelling calving and sliding of Svalbard outlet glaciers : Spatio-temporal changes and interactions
Sammanfattning : Future sea level rise associated to global warming is one of the greatest societal and environmental challenges of tomorrow. A large part of the contribution comes from glaciers and ice sheets discharging ice and meltwater into the ocean and the recent worldwide increase is worrying. LÄS MER
