  2. 1. Continuous Landscapes in Finite Space : Making Sense of Satellite Images in Social Science

    Author : Anders Wästfelt; Ulf Sporrong; Christer Persson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Land use; Landcover; Landscape; Landscape transition; Landscape characterisation; Remote sensed images; Spatial context; Hybrid characterisation; Human geography; Kulturgeografi;

    Abstract : Questions of landscape values connected to agriculture and environment are always related to local land use. In order to study land use it is necessary to understand the intentions of the users as well as the conditions for land use in a specific landscape. READ MORE

  4. 2. Magnetism in Transition Metal Systems : Interplay between structure, dimensionality and electron correlation

    Author : Samara Keshavarz Hedayati; Yaroslav Kvashnin; Patrik Thunström; Olle Eriksson; Tamio Oguchi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, an ab initio study of electronic structures and magnetic properties of transition metal systems has been presented, covering bulk, interface and surface geometries. Among them are Fe, Co, Ni, CaMnO3, Co2MnSi, a ferromagnetic Heusler alloy, as well as double-perovskites oxides such as Sr3(Fe1.25Ni0.75)O6 and Nd2NiMnO6. READ MORE

    Abstract : Today humankind is facing numerous sustainability challenges that require us to question CO2 intensive practices like those present in the transport and energy sector. To meet those challenges, many countries have adopted ambitious climate targets. Achieving such targets requires an understanding of the wider socio-technical context of transitions. READ MORE

  6. 4. Future Energy Landscapes in Northern Sweden: Sustainable Transition Scenarios for Municipalities

    Author : Parvathy Sobha; Anna Krook-Riekkola; Rebecka Ericsdotter Engström; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy transition; sustainability; applied system analysis; energy system optimization model; scenario analysis; Energiteknik; Energy Engineering;

    Abstract : Municipalities globally are recognizing their role in mitigating climate change and are actively working to reduce carbon emissions. This complex challenge is heightened in areas like Northern Sweden, where municipalities are adapting to accommodate new industries essential for meeting global climate targets, subsequently changing the energy landscape.

  7. 5. Cenozoic landscape evolution in northern Sweden : Geomorphological interpretation within a GIS-framework

    Author : Karin Ebert; Clas Hättestrand; Paul Bishop; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Long-term geomorphology; northern Sweden; base-level surface; inselbergs; digital elevation models; field observations; Physical geography; Naturgeografi; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE
