16. Linking lake variability, climate, and human activity in Basotu, Tanzania
Sammanfattning : Paleoenvironmental investigations establish important baseline knowledge of the natural variability of lake systems, to better understand human impacts on the landscape, and the effects of climate change on water resources. By combining long-term environmental history with investigations into modern land use patterns and climatological events, a wider perspective can be reached that has practical applications in water governance.

17. 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
18. Diatoms as indicators of Holocene climate and environmental change in northern Sweden
Sammanfattning : The objective of the thesis was to explore the potential of diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) as indicators of Holocene climate and environmental change in northern Sweden (Abisko region, 68°21'N, 18°49'E). A modern surface-sediment calibration set including 100 lakes was developed and lake-water pH, sedimentary organic content (assessed by loss-on-ignition) and temperature were identified as most powerful environmental variables explaining the variance within the diatom assemblages.

19. The character of magnetic records of deformed soft sediments with emphasis on liquefaction structures
Sammanfattning : In this thesis the characteristics of magnetic records in deformed soft sediments during postglacial time in Sweden are studied. Magnetic records refer in this study to magnetic remanence (NRM and ChRM) and susceptibility, including its anisotropy (AMS). LÄS MER
20. Diatoms in Lake Duluti : Tracking Environmental Variability in Northern Tanzania during the Past 1000 Years
Sammanfattning : The tropics are the regions which are least understood climatically and new data on past climate variability is necessary for reliable future modeling of climate change. This thesis contributes with new paleoenvironmental information from a small crater lake in northern Tanzania and provides an additional link between the integrated history of climate, environment and socioeconomic variability in tropical Africa.
