11. Observation strategies for current and future geodetic very long baseline interferometry
Sammanfattning : Geodetic Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is an essential technique for space geodesy. It is uniquely capable of simultaneously observing all Earth Orientation Parameters (EOP) and directly giving access to the Earth’s rotation angle (related to Universal Time, UT1). LÄS MER
12. Changes in the Freshwater System : Distinguishing Climate and Landscape Drivers
Sammanfattning : Freshwater is a vital resource that circulates between the atmosphere, the land and the sea. Understanding and quantifying changes to the partitioning of precipitation into evapotranspiration, runoff and water storage change in the landscape are required for assessing changes to freshwater availability.

13. Thermodynamic study of the FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system : Data assessment and phase diagram calculation
Sammanfattning : This dissertation consists of assessed thermodynamic properties for phases in the geologically and industrially important system Fe-Mg-Al-Si-O and calculated phase diagrams. Mathematical processing of different kinds of experimental data (phase equilibrium data, calorimetric, volumetric, thermophysical,electrochemical, activity data) is used to derive internally consistent thermodynamic database.

14. Iron isotopes in aquatic systems
Sammanfattning : The cycling of iron (Fe) is a key component for understanding water quality and biogeochemical processes. It serves as mediator during biotic and abiotic processes, as electron acceptor during the degradation of organic matter, as surface for trace element and organic matter adsorption, and is necessary for primary production processes.

15. Cold-climate landforms on Mars and Earth-analogues in Svalbard
Sammanfattning : Periglacial landforms on Earth reflect cold-climate conditions and are intimately related to processes due to the presence of ground ice and perennially frozen ground, permafrost. The overall objective of this thesis is to investigate the potential of Svalbard as an analogue to Mars cold-climate landforms, and explore past and present processes and surface conditions on Mars by inference from morphological counterparts in Svalbard.
