1. Regime Shifts in the Anthropocene
Sammanfattning : Regime shifts are large, abrupt and often hard to reverse changes in the function and structure of socal-ecological systems. These regime shifts have been documented in a broad range of systems and scales both in marine, terrestrial and polar ecosystems. LÄS MER
2. Regime Shifts in the Anthropocene
Sammanfattning : Abrupt and persistent reconfiguration of ecosystem’s structure and function has been observed on a wide variety of ecosystems worldwide. While scientist believe that such phenomena could become more common and severe in the near future, little is known about the patterns of regime shifts’ causes and consequences for human well-being.

3. The palaeolimnological record of regime shifts in lakes in response to climate change
Sammanfattning : Regime shifts in lake ecosystems can occur in response to both abrupt and continuous climate change, and the imprints they leave in palaeolimnological records allow us to investigate and better understand patterns and processes governing ecological changes on geological time scales. This thesis aims at investigating palaeolimnological records of regime shifts in lakes during the Holocene to explore how lake ecosystems responded to climate changes and anthropogenic activities and to identify thresholds or tipping points that produced regime shifts.

4. Nonlinearities and regime shifts in financial time series
Sammanfattning : This volume contains four essays on various topics in the field of financial econometrics. All four discuss the properties of high frequency financial data and its implications on the model choice when an estimate of the capital asset return volatility is in focus. LÄS MER
5. Upholding the coral loop : Resilience, alternative stable states and feedbacks in coral reefs
Sammanfattning : Coral reefs are suffering unprecedented declines in coral cover and species diversity. These changes are often associated with substantial shifts in community structure to new dominant organisms. Ultimately, these “phase shifts” can be persistent and very difficult to return from.
