  2. 1. The Eemian Interglacial at Sokli, northern Finland : A multi-proxy environmental and climatic reconstruction based on a 9 m long lacustrine sediment sequence

    Author : Anna Plikk; Karin F. Helmens; Oliver Heiri; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Last Interglacial MIS5e ; northern Europe; palaeolimnology; palaeoecology; temperature reconstruction; multiple proxies; climate dynamics; climatic events; kvartärgeologi; Quaternary Geology;

    Abstract : Understanding the fundamentals of the Earth’s climate system during the Quaternary Period (the past ca 2.6 million years) is of imminent interest in light of the reported recent climatic changes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wintertime compound extremes in Europe and North America : from dynamics to predictability

    Author : Richard Leeding; Gabriele Messori; Jacopo Riboldi; Deliang Chen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cold Spells; Climate Extremes; Extratropical Cyclones; North Atlantic; North America; Europe; Meteorologi; Meteorology;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the co-occurrence of wintertime low temperature extremes (cold spells) over North America and wet or windy extremes over Europe. Prolonged (≅ 5 days) North American cold spells can be associated with both upstream and downstream anomalous large-scale atmospheric flows, the latter modulating extreme weather occurrences over Europe.

  5. 3. Air Pollution Dependency on Climate Variability and Source Region : Past, Current and Future Air Pollution Scenarios over Europe

    Author : Camilla Andersson; Hans-Christen Hansson; Christer Johansson; Joakim Langner; David Simpson; Peter Builtjes; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acidification; Air Pollution; Climate Change; Europe; Numerical Model; Emission; Eutrophication; Key region; Nitrogen Dioxide; Particulate Matter; PM; Source region; Surface Ozone; Tropospheric Ozone; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : The main objectives of this thesis were to investigate the dependency of European air pollution on climate variability and emission source region. Calculations with a chemistry transport model (CTM) were conducted to investigate the influence of climate variability. READ MORE

  6. 4. Diversity and phylogeography in Alisma (Alismataceae), with emphasis on Northern European taxa

    Author : Anders Jacobson; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; morphology; phytogeography; chemotaxonomy. Physiology of nonvascular plants; taxonomy; Systematic botany; Baltic Sea; Europe; refugia; post-glacial migration; phylogeography; marsh plants; genetic variation; aquatic plants; Alisma; Systematisk botanik; taxonomi; morfologi; kemotaxonomi. Växters fysiologi inte kärlväxter .;

    Abstract : In the present thesis the phylogeny and patterns of genetic diversity of the plant genus Alisma (Alismataceae) were investigated by means of genetic markers (RAPDs, allozymes, and ITS and trnL sequences). Additionally, morphological studies were carried out in paper IV. READ MORE

  7. 5. Simulating the palaeorecord of northern European lakes using a coupled lake-catchment model

    Author : Jüri Vassiljev; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climatology; cartography; pedology; geomorphology; Physical geography; northern Europe; catchment geometry; Holocene; overflow lakes; climate change; Water- and energy-balance modelling; lake-level changes; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi;

    Abstract : A coupled lake-catchment model was developed to examine the controls on lake-level changes in currently overflowing lakes during Holocene. The lake energy-balance is simulated as the one-dimensional vertical heat transfer by eddy diffusion and convective mixing. READ MORE
