  1. 11. Contaminated organic sediments of anthropogenic origin: impact on coastal environments

    Författare :Anna Apler; Ian Snowball; Sarah Josefsson; Lovisa Zillén; Magdalena Kuchler; Jonas Gunnarsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fiberbank; fiber-rich sediment; metals; persistent organic pollutants; pore water; bottom water; dispersal; sorption; pulp and paper; chemostratigraphy; Anthropocene; Natural Resources and Sustainable Development; Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : The Baltic Sea is negatively affected by legacy pollutants such as metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are known to have adverse effects on living organisms, including, humans and were banned decades ago. This thesis addresses the dispersal of these pollutants from heavily contaminated, cellulose-rich sediments of industrial origin in the Ångermanälven river estuary in northern Sweden. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Coral reefs in the Anthropocene : The effects of stress on coral metabolism and symbiont composition

    Sammanfattning : Coral reefs constitute some of the most prolific and diverse ecosystems on our planet, but also among the most threatened. This thesis investigates the effects of environmental stressors on corals’ metabolism and symbiont diversity. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Narrating Nuclear Disaster : Literary Form and Affective Modes after Chernobyl and Fukushima

    Författare :Hannah Klaubert; Ansgar Nünning; Claudia Egerer; Catrin Gersdorf; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ecocriticism; nuclear disaster; Chernobyl; Fukushima; narrative; narratology; literature; Anthropocene; radioactivity; environmental humanities; energy humanities; nuclear humanities; English; engelska;

    Sammanfattning : The major nuclear disasters of Chernobyl (1986) and Fukushima (2011) play an important role in the public perception of nuclear power, yet their social and material impacts remain scientifically debated and, thus, their meaning for the future of nuclear power production contested. Narrating Nuclear Disaster intervenes in these debates by asking what might be learned about nuclear disasters through an analysis of the formal and affective strategies employed in literary texts narrating their aftermath.

    Sammanfattning : Exploring the impact of landslides on past human communities, their landscapes, and their material remains, this thesis focuses on the most landslide-prone region of Sweden: the Göta River Valley (Sw. Göta älvdalen). LÄS MER

  7. 15. The use of global data to uncover how humans shape flood and drought risk

    Författare :Sara Lindersson; Giuliano Di Baldassarre; Johanna Mård; Luigia Brandimarte; Brett Sanders; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; natural hazards; hydrological disasters; environmental geography; global geospatial data; international databases; disaster losses; disaster consequences; water management; dams and reservoirs; floodplains; hydrological drought; social vulnerability; economic inequality; Anthropocene; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys; Earth Science with specialization in Environmental Analysis;

    Sammanfattning : The human consequences of flood and drought disasters are widespread and detrimental. Large-scale studies, drawing on global geodata products and international databases, can systematically examine how anthropogenic megatrends shape disaster risk and test the generalisability of findings from other scientific methodologies.
