1. 31. Comparison of dating methods for paleoglacial reconstruction in Central Asia

   Författare :Natacha Gribenski; Krister N. Jansson; Arjen P. Stroeven; Frank Preusser; Jonathan M. Harbor; Marc Bateman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Paleoglaciation; Optically stimulated luminescence dating; Cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating; EMCCD camera; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : Reconstruction of former Central Asian glaciers extents can provide valuable information about past atmospheric circulation variations. These extents, often marked by terminal moraines, need to be chronologically constrained. Cosmogenic nuclide exposure (CNE) dating is widely used to directly date moraines. LÄS MER

3. 32. Paleoglaciology of the Tian Shan and Altai Mountains, Central Asia

   Författare :Robin Blomdin; Arjen P. Stroeven; Clas Hättestrand; Jonathan M. Harbor; Lewis Owen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Paleoglaciology; glacial geomorphological mapping; cosmogenic nuclide dating; Tian Shan; Altai Mountains; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : The mountain-systems of Central Asia, act as barriers to atmospheric circulation patterns, which in turn impose striking climate gradients across the region. Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate change and respond to changes in climate gradients over time by advancing during cold and wet periods and receding during warm and dry periods. LÄS MER

4. 33. Spatial Strategies for Biodiversity Conservation

   Författare :André Pinto da Silva; Mats Bjõrklund; Greta Bocedi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global change; Southern Asia; mammals; ecological modelling; Biology with specialization in Animal Conservation; Biologi med inriktning mot zoologisk bevarandebiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Biodiversity is being lost under alarming rates due to an unsustainable socio-economic trajectory causing global change. Such loss is unequally spread over the Earth, and Southern Asia has been and is projected to continue to be one of the most affected regions. LÄS MER

5. 34. Understanding the East Asian Peace Informal and formal conflict prevention and peacebuilding in the Taiwan Strait, the Korean Peninsula, and the South China Sea 1990-2008

   Sammanfattning : The overall purpose of this dissertation is to provide an empirical study of the post-Cold War East Asian security setting, with the aim of understanding why there is an East Asian peace. The East Asian peace exists in a region with a history of militarised conflicts, home to many of the world's longest ongoing militarised problems and a number of unresolved critical flashpoints.

7. 35. Understanding regional peace and security: A framework for analysis

   Författare :Rodrigo Tavares; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; security; peace; regions; regional peace and security cluster; regional organizations; South Asia; Europe; Kashmir; Olivenza; Gibraltar;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to build an analytical framework for understanding regional peace and security. Building on important insights from other theoretical approaches and drawing from empirical data, the framework aims to problematize and understand: (a) how peace and security cluster at the regional level, (b) the components of each regional cluster, and (c) the linkages that exist between them.
