6. Palaeo-ice streams in the north-eastern Laurentide Ice Sheet
Sammanfattning : This thesis presents a palaeoglaciological study aimed to determine the location, geometry and temporal evolution of palaeo-ice streams of the north-easternmost Laurentide Ice Sheet. The work was accomplished through the geomorphological interpretation of satellite imagery over 3. LÄS MER
7. Response of glaciers to climate change : Mass balance sensitivity, sea level rise and runoff
Sammanfattning : The purpose of this study is to enhance our understanding of the response of glaciers to climate change. Global sea level is affected by changes in glacier ice volume, and melt-water from glaciers is a principal water source in many regions. LÄS MER
8. Cenozoic landscape evolution in northern Sweden : Geomorphological interpretation within a GIS-framework
Sammanfattning : The large-scale bedrock landscape in northern Sweden has a complex evolution history of planation, uplift, transgression, burial, weathering, and erosion. The aim of this thesis is to examine the long-term development of the area. Terms for base-level surfaces in the area are defined. LÄS MER
9. Forest decline in South Central Ethiopia : Extent, history and process
Sammanfattning : This study presents the extent, history and process of forest decline in Awassa watershed, south central Ethiopia. By combining different data sources such as satellite images, social surveys and historical documents, forest decline is described quantitatively and qualitatively and the main causes behind this process are identified.

10. Making water information relevant on local to global scale – the role of Information Systems for Integrated Water Management
Sammanfattning : Relevant information is essential for finding solutions in Integrated Water Management (IWM). Complex water systems and a need for increasing integration of sectors, actors and scales in IWM require new methods for developing and managing such information. LÄS MER
