    Sammanfattning : This dissertation researches how perspectives in western industrial societies communicate about and give meaning to environmental degradation through case studies on the causes and effects of cultural eutrophication—namely nutrient pollution, algal blooms, and dead zones—in the Baltic Sea. Utilizing this approach, this dissertation addresses the ecological problems of cultural eutrophication in marine ecosystems by exposing normative claims humans make about the Baltic Sea and its contents as well as detailing how seas that exceed human expectations may offer insights into negotiating differing perspectives, discrepancies in power, and ways of being among humans and non-humans in marine environments.

  3. 12. Planetary Timemaking : Paleoclimatology and the Temporalities of Environmental Knowledge, 1945-1990

    Författare :Erik Isberg; Sverker Sörlin; Sabine Höhler; Adam Wickberg; Etienne Benson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; paleoclimatology; environmental history; temporality; ice core; deep-sea core; North Atlantic; timemaking; theory of history; planetary-scale environmental knowledge; paleoklimatologi; miljöhistoria; temporalitet; iskärna; borrkärna; Nordatlanten; tidsskapande; historieteori; planetär miljökunskap; History of Science; Technology and Environment; Historiska studier av teknik; vetenskap och miljö;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the history of paleoclimatology in the postwar period. It follows the trajectory of two climate proxy records – ice cores and deep-sea cores – in the North Atlantic region, from their emergence as scientific objects in the 1940s to their incorporation into Earth System Science in the 1980s.

    Sammanfattning : Denna avhandling undersöker hur marknadisering introducerades som idé i offentliga verksamheter i Sverige från 1970-talets början till omkring år 2000. Marknadisering definieras här som processen att göra verksamheter som inte tidigare var marknadsorganiserade eller marknadsstyrda mer marknadsliknande, och att detta framförallt handlade om offentliga verksamheter.

    Sammanfattning : Background: Policy initiatives to promote sustainable travel through the use of Internet based public information systems have increased during the last decade. Stockholm, in being one of the first cities in Europe to implement an Internet based service for facilitating sustainable travel is believed to be a good candidate for an analysis of key issues for developing sustainable travel planning services to the public.

  7. 15. Environing Technology : Swedish Satellite Remote Sensing in the Making of Environment 1969–2001

    Författare :Johan Gärdebo; Nina Wormbs; Sabine Höhler; Edward Jones-Imhotep; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; COPUOS; environing; environmental diplomacy; infrastructure; satellite remote sensing; SPOT; Spot Image; sustainable development; Sweden; Swedish Space Corporation; History of Science; Technology and Environment; Historiska studier av teknik; vetenskap och miljö;

    Sammanfattning : The state-owned Swedish Space Corporation established a satellite remote sensing infrastructure and defined uses for the technology both within and beyond Sweden during the latter part of the twentieth century. This thesis studies Swedish satellite remote sensing as an environing technology – a technology that environs, that produces environments and our perceptions of the environment. LÄS MER
