1. A dive into the coral microbiome
Sammanfattning : Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, harbouring approximately twenty-five percent of the diverse eukaryotic life in the oceans, while also being important economically for millions of people worldwide. Despite their importance, coral reefs are menaced of a very steep decline due to pollution and anthropogenic climate change. LÄS MER
2. DIVE on the internet
Sammanfattning : This dissertation reports research and development of a platform for Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). It has particularly focused on two major challenges: supporting the rapid development of scalable applications and easing their deployment on the Internet. LÄS MER
3. A Deep Dive into Sediments : Exploring approaches to assess environmental risks and achieving environmental goals in management of contaminated sediments in Sweden
Sammanfattning : Contaminated sediments are common, especially near urban and industrialized areas, and they can have negative ecological effects. In three studies, I explore the challenges for environmental management of contaminated sediments, focusing on environmental risk assessment (ERA) in Sweden. LÄS MER
4. Diving and the brain
Sammanfattning : Abstract Introduction There are reports that long-term diving is associated with cognitive impairments. This raises the question if diving itself is harmful to the brain in the absence of decompression sickness or hypoxia. LÄS MER
5. 100 million years of shark macroevolution : A morphometric dive into tooth shape diversity
Sammanfattning : Few vertebrate clades exhibit the evolutionary longevity and versatility of sharks, which constitute nearly half of all current chondrichthyan biodiversity and represent an ecological diversity of mid-to-apex trophic-level predators in both marine and freshwater environments. The rich fossil record of shark teeth from Mesozoic and Cenozoic rocks also makes the group amenable to large-scale quantitative analyses. LÄS MER
