6. Exploring Strategies for the Combination of Multiple Space-geodetic Techniques
Sammanfattning : Space-geodetic techniques are based on signal acquisition from extraterrestrial radio sources that can be used to infer geodetic positioning and define Earth-fixed and inertial reference systems. These techniques, which include Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) among others, exhibit different strengths and weaknesses in recovering parameters of interest.

7. 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
8. Arctic Ocean benthic foraminifera preservation and Mg/Ca ratios : Implications for bottom water palaeothermometry
Sammanfattning : Reconstructions of Arctic Ocean palaeotemperatures are needed to disentangle natural variability from anthropogenic changes and understand the role of ocean heat transport in forcing or providing feedbacks on Arctic climate change. Despite known complications with calcareous microfossil preservation in Arctic Ocean sediments, calcareous benthic foraminifera can be common in interglacial sequences. LÄS MER
9. Fluid migration and brittle tectonothermal evolution in the central Fennoscandian Shield - recorded by fracture minerals and wall rock alteration
Sammanfattning : The Forsmark area in central Sweden has been investigated as a potential geological host for a final repository of spent nuclear fuel by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB). High quality drill core material from the upper 1 km of the central Fennoscandian Shield has been obtained during the site investigations and has provided a unique opportunity for detailed fracture mineralogical investigations.

10. In the wake of deglaciation - sedimentary signatures of ice-sheet decay and sea-level change : Studies from south-central Sweden and the western Arctic Ocean
Sammanfattning : Lacustrine and marine sedimentary archives help unravel details concerning the withdrawal of large ice sheets and resulting sea-level changes during the last deglaciation (22 -11 kyr). In a series of four manuscripts, this PhD thesis investigates the sedimentological signatures from deglacial processes at three key locations in the northern hemisphere: (i) Lake Vättern (LV) in south-central Sweden, (ii) Herald Canyon (HC) in the western Chukchi Sea, and (iii) Mackenzie Trough (MT) on the westernmost edge of the Canadian Beaufort Shelf.
