1. Tracing pathways in the ocean circulation : A temperature and salinity perspective
Sammanfattning : The ocean circulation plays an essential role in our climate system. It redistributes heat, salt, carbon and other tracers across the globe, making the climate of Earth more moderate. This thesis targets density differences that are driving the ocean circulation. These differences are caused by changes in temperature and salinity. LÄS MER
2. Towards Technology Assessment of Ocean Energy in a Developing Country Context
Sammanfattning : New technologies for the extraction of valuable ocean resources are emerging: renewable ocean energy. Ocean energy technologies have so far primarily been developed in industrialized countries but will be deployed in both industrialized and developing countries. LÄS MER
3. Genetic connectivity of fish in the Western Indian Ocean
Sammanfattning : An almost unbroken fringing reef runs along the east coast of Africa, the lagoon inside the reef is the foundation of almost all artisanal fisheries. It is a low-tech fishery conducted by many people. Some areas can have up to 19 fishermen per square kilometer. LÄS MER
4. Managing sea cucumber fisheries and aquaculture : Studies of social-ecological systems in the Western Indian Ocean
Sammanfattning : Collecting sea cucumbers to supply the high value Chinese dried seafood market is a livelihood activity available to many people in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), making it an important part of local economies. These fisheries are generally not successfully managed and tropical sea cucumber fisheries show continuing signs of decline. LÄS MER
5. Applications of ocean transport modelling
Sammanfattning : The advective motion of seawater governs the transport of almost everything, animate or inanimate, present in the ocean and those lacking the ability to outswim the currents have to follow the flow. This makes modelling of advective ocean transports a powerful tool in various fields of science where a displacement of something over time is studied. LÄS MER
