11. Computer Experiments Designed to Explore and Approximate Complex Deterministic Models
Sammanfattning : Computer experiments are widely used to investigate how technical, economic, and ecological systems respond to changes in inputs or driving forces. This thesis is focused on design of computer experiments that can help us better understand the output from complex computer code models. LÄS MER
12. Batch Sorption Studies of Aqueous Cadmium and Lead from Contaminated Water onto Selected Biosorbents
Sammanfattning : Groundwater, wastewater, surface runoff and surface water samples from Lake Victoria basin, Uganda was assessed for trace metals contamination. Untreated, base-treated and peroxide-treated biosorbents from Albizia coriaria, Coffea canephora, Cyperus papyrus, Erythrina abyssinica and Musa spp were investigated for removal of selected trace metals from contaminated water in batch studies.

13. Spatiotemporal streamflow variability in a boreal landscape : Importance of landscape composition for catchment hydrological functioning
Sammanfattning : The understanding of how different parts of a landscape contribute to streamflow by storing and releasing water has long been a central issue in hydrology. Knowledge about what controls streamflow dynamics across landscapes can further our understanding of how catchments store and release water, facilitate predictions for ungauged catchments, and improve the management of water quality and resources.

14. Export and sources of organic carbon in the Lena River basin, Northeastern Siberia
Sammanfattning : Permafrost areas are considered to be one of the largest terrestrial storages of carbon. In a warming climate these areas are expected to experience changes in carbon transport to rivers and the oceans due to permafrost thawing, which could enhance erosion, change water flow pathways and increase greenhouse gas emissions.

15. On the governmentalization of sustainability : the case of flood risk mitigation in Sweden
Sammanfattning : Contemporary society is confronted with numerous sustainability challenges. Some are new, others have been around since time immemorial, but none have been governed on the societal level since their emergence. LÄS MER
