6. Landscape partitioning and burial processes of soil organic carbon in contrasting areas of continuous permafrost
Sammanfattning : Recent studies have shown that permafrost soils in the northern circumpolar region store almost twice as much carbon as the atmosphere. Since soil organic carbon (SOC) pools have large regional and landscape-level variability, detailed SOC inventories from across the northern permafrost region are needed to assess potential remobilization of SOC with permafrost degradation and to quantify the permafrost carbon-climate feedback on global warming.

7. Makt uttryckt i jord och sten : Stora högar och maktstrukturer i Mälardalen under järnåldern
Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on power structures in the Mälaren basin during the Iron Age, and how these structures change over time.

8. Soundscapes in nineteenth-century Gothic short stories
Sammanfattning : In the eerie world of Gothic literature, sound represents a source of fear, anxiety, and discomfort, and it mostly affects its listeners through the invisible character of the experience.

9. Västergötlands kristnande : religionsskifte och gravskickets förändring 700-1200 : The Christianisation of Västergötland. Changing religion and mortuary practice AD 700-1200
Sammanfattning : In my PhD-thesis I present issues that deal with the transformation of ancient Scandinavian religion into Christianity, a transformation which is evident in the mortuary practices from 8th to 12th century AD in the region of Västergötland, in western Sweden. In part one I discuss and evaluate the relevant theoretical and methodological considerations and formulate a critical realistic and existential inspired archaeology. LÄS MER
10. Gotländska stenåldersstudier : Människor och djur, platser och landskap
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals mainly with the Middle Neolithic period (ca. 3200-2300 BC) on the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. The aim is to deepen the understanding of how the islanders related to their surroundings, to the landscape, to places, to objects, to animals and to humans, both living and dead. LÄS MER
