1. Seasonal variation and landscape regulation of dissolved organic carbon concentrations and character in Swedish boreal streams
Abstract : The seasonal variation and landscape regulation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in streams have been studied in two watersheds in the boreal zone. The seasonal variation was found to be highly correlated to variations in runoff. An increase in runoff was always accompanied with an increase in DOC concentration. READ MORE

2. Catchment controls on mire properties in the post-glacial landscape
Abstract : Mires are key ecosystems in the boreal biome which provide services related to carbon uptake, biodiversity, and regulation of hydrological and biogeochemical cycles. Minerogenic mires are supported by their upslope catchment area and underlying mineral soil, but a more detailed understanding and quantification of landscape drivers behind mire properties is needed.

3. Quantifying pollutant spreading and the risk of water pollution in hydrological catchments : A solute travel time-based scenario approach
Abstract : The research presented in the thesis develops an approach for the estimation and mapping of pollutant spreading in catchments and the associated uncertainty and risk of pollution. The first step in the approach is the quantification and mapping of statistical and geographical distributions of advective solute travel times from pollutant input locations to downstream recipients.

4. Combining limnology and paleolimnology : a refined understanding of environmental sediment signal formation in a varved lake
Abstract : Paleoclimatic archives, such as lake sediments, extend our understanding of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem dynamics in relation to climate variability beyond the period covered by instrumental data. In this context, annually laminated (i.e. READ MORE

5. Data-driven analysis of water and nutrient flows: Case of the Sava River Catchment and comparison with other regions
Abstract : A growing human population and demands for food, freshwater and energy are causing extensive changes in the water and biogeochemical cycles of river catchments around the world. Addressing and investigating such changes is particularly important for transboundary river catchments, where they impose additional risk to a region’s stability. READ MORE
