  1. 1. Gas Exchange over Aquatic Interfaces and its Importance for Greenhouse Gas Emission

    Författare :Jovana Kokic; Sebastian Sobek; Erik Sahlée; Marcus B. Wallin; Anne Ojala; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; gas exchange; lake; stream; lake sediment; headwaters; carbon dioxide; methane; greenhouse gas emission; carbon; turbulence; Biology with specialization in Limnology; Biologi med inriktning mot limnologi;

    Sammanfattning : Aquatic ecosystems play a substantial role in global cycling of carbon (C), despite covering only about 4% of the earth surface. They emit large amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) to the atmosphere, comparable to the amount of C stored annually in terrestrial ecosystems. In addition, C can be buried in lake sediments. LÄS MER

  2. 2. Greenhouse gas emission from tropical reservoirs : Spatial and temporal dynamics

    Författare :Annika Linkhorst; Sebastian Sobek; Frédéric Guérin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; methane; carbon dioxide; climate; carbon cycle; lake; limnology; inland water;

    Sammanfattning : The emission of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) from reservoirs has been estimated to make up for about 1.3% of the global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission. The impoundment of a river leads to the accumulation of sediment that is brought in from inflowing rivers, and the sediment organic matter is degraded to CH4 and CO2. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Drivers of Climate Change? Political and Economic Explanations of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

    Författare :Ole Martin Laegreid; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Greenhouse gas; Climate change; Environmental Kuznets curve; Political institutions;

    Sammanfattning : This PhD dissertation examines if social scientific theories can explain historical trajectories of greenhouse gas emissions. The manuscript includes an introductory chapter and four articles that consider annual emissions in countries across the world, during the time-period 1960-2014. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Towards a changed view on greenhouse gas exchange in the Arctic: new findings and improved techniques

    Författare :Mikhail Mastepanov; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; methane; carbon dioxide; greenhouse gas; chamber; Arctic; fen; permafrost;

    Sammanfattning : Arctic ecosystems represent an important component in the global terrestrial exchange of greenhouse gases and energy with the atmosphere. In the changing climate, which is most pronounced in the Arctic, the possible scenarios of greenhouse gas exchange response should be seriously considered in predictive climate modelling efforts.

  5. 5. Assessment of Raw Materials in Stainless Steelmaking-Their Energy Consumption and Greenhouse Gas Emission

    Författare :Wei Wenjing; Anders Tilliander; Peter Samuelsson; Pär Jönsson; Ye Guozhu; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; static process model; mass and energy balance; molybdenum; nickel; phosphorus; stainless steel; life cycle assessment; GHG emission; energy consumption; statisk procesmodell; mass- och energibalans; molybden; nickel; fosfor; rostfritt stål; livscykelanalys; växthusgasutsläpp; energiförbrukning; Metallurgical process science; Metallurgisk processvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : In stainless steelmaking, around 68% of the total greenhouse gas emissions come from the processing of raw materials. Thus, it is important for steelmakers to make efforts together with their raw material suppliers to implement low-carbon initiatives. To facilitate such initiatives, assessment of raw materials will provide guidance. LÄS MER
