1. 1. Recirculation of scrapped resources : The role of material information in enhancing the sustainability of recycling

   Författare :Reinol Josef Compañero; Andreas Feldmann; Peter Samuelsson; Pär Jönsson; Guozhu Ye; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel recycling; anthropogenic resources; scrap; value of information; Circular Economy; sustainability; Stål återvinning; antropogena resurser; skrot; cirkulär ekonomi; hållbarhet; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Industries have responded to the climate change problem by positioning their activities as compatible with concepts such as the Circular Economy. Conveying the idea of maximizing and keeping the resources in a manner that aligns with the principles of sustainable development, the endorsements for implementing circularity measures has arguably become a boon for businesses.

3. 2. Modelling water resources despite data limitations in Tanzania’s Kilombero Valley

   Författare :William Senkondo; Steve W. Lyon; Chong-Yu Xu; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hydrological modelling; Recession analysis; Remote sensing; Water resources; Evapotranspiration; Transmissivity; SWAT model; Kilombero Valley; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : Water is a vital resource for survival on the Earth. Sustainable management of water resources is therefore required for the wellbeing of present and future generations. A cornerstone of water resources management is scientific guidance supported by relevant data (in terms of quantity and quality). LÄS MER

4. 3. Natural resources and sustainable energy : Growth rates and resource flows for low-carbon systems

   Författare :Simon Davidsson; Mikael Höök; Gert Jan Kramer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; low-carbon technology; renewable energy; energy transitions; critical materials; energy metals; material flows; net energy; EROI; life cycle assessment; LCA; growth curves; curve fitting; resource depletion; Natural Resources and Sustainable Development; Naturresurser och hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : Large-scale deployment of low-carbon energy technologies is important for counteracting anthropogenic climate change and achieving universal energy access. This thesis explores potential growth rates of technologies necessary to reach a more sustainable global energy system, the material and energy flows required to commission these technologies, and potential future availability of the required resources.

5. 4. Geochemistry of Trace Elements in the Bolivian Altiplano : Effects of natural processes and anthropogenic activities

   Författare :Oswaldo Eduardo Ramos Ramos; Prosun Bhattacharya; Jorge Quintanilla; Roger Thunvik; Jochen Bundshuh; Maria Eugenia Garcia Moreno; Luiz R.G. Guilherme; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arsenic; Bolivian Altiplano; Eastern Cordillera; Trace elements; Surface water and shallow groundwater; Soils and crops.; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : The occurrence of As in groundwater in Argentina was known since 1917; however, the occurrence, distribution and mobilization of As and other trace elements (TEs) in groundwater in the Bolivian Altiplano are still quite unknown. An investigation applying a geochemical approach was conducted in the Poopó Basin and Lake Titicaca to understand processes of TEs in different systems such as water, soils, crops and sediments in mining areas.
