1. Spatial distribution of snow in Antarctica and other glacier studies using ground-penetrating radar
Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to develop and exemplify the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) within the field of glaciology. The main focus is on the spatial distribution of snow in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. READ MORE

2. Electronic structure of clean and adsorbate-covered InAs surfaces
Abstract : This thesis is the result of investigations regarding the processes in InAs III-V semiconductor surfaces induced by additional charge incorporated by adsorbates. The aim of the project is to study the development of the accumulation layer on the metal/InAs(111)A/B surfaces and its electronic structure. READ MORE

3. Climatology and firn processes in the lower accumulation area of the Greenland ice sheet
Abstract : The Greenland ice sheet is the largest Northern Hemisphere store of fresh water, and it is responding rapidly to the warming climate. In situ observations document the changing ice sheet properties in the lower accumulation area, Southwest Greenland. READ MORE

4. Damage accumulation and stiffness degradation in composite laminates
Abstract : In the presented thesis analytical modeling of elastic properties degradation and modeling of damage evolution in composite laminates is performed. Transverse cracking initiation on a fiber/matrix level is briefly studied by testing model composites and cross-ply laminates. READ MORE

5. Peatland dynamics in response to past and potential future climate change : A regional modelling approach
Abstract : The majority of the northern peatlands developed during the Holocene as a result of a positive mass balance between net primary productivity (NPP) and heterotrophic decomposition rates. Over that time they have sequestered a huge amount of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. READ MORE
