1. Managing coastal eutrophication : Land-sea and hydroclimatic linkages with focus on the Baltic coastal system
Sammanfattning : Eutrophication endangers coastal ecosystems all over the world and is most often associated with an increase in anthropogenic nutrient loads to coastal waters, which fuel the growth of algae and create a variety of environmental problems. This is also the case for the Baltic Sea where coastal waters may be affected by various land, coast-sea, and hydroclimatic drivers and feedbacks, over different scales, including the eutrophic open sea.

2. Sea Level Compensation System for Wave Energy Converters
Sammanfattning : The wave energy converter developed at Uppsala University consists of a linear generator at the seabed driven by the motion of a buoy on the water surface. The energy absorbed by the generator is negatively affected by variations of the mean sea level caused by tides, changes in barometric pressure, strong winds, and storm surges. LÄS MER
3. The Niches of Bacterial Populations in Productive Waters : Examples from Coastal Waters and Four Eutrophic Lakes
Sammanfattning : Recent research in microbial ecology has focused on how aquatic bacterial communities are assembled. Only a few of these studies follow a “Gleasonian” approach where the roles of single bacterial populations are in focus. LÄS MER
4. Shipworm ecology in Swedish coastal waters
Sammanfattning : Shipworms (Teredinidae) are marine bivalves adopted for boring into submerged wood, which they efficiently fragmentize and consume. They thereby perform a vital ecosystem service, yet simultaneously they cause extensive damage to important man-made marine structures. LÄS MER
5. Form and Function of Coastal Areas
Sammanfattning : Coastal waters have high biological productivity and provide goods and services with a high monetary value. Coasts are used by many different stakeholders and are often densely populated. LÄS MER
