  2. 1. Underwater Worlds : An Ethnography of Waste, Pollution, and Marine Life

    Author : Rasmus Rodineliussen; Bengt Karlsson; Helena Wulff; Marianne Lien; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Aquabiopolitics; Lake Mälaren; Marine Life; Pollution; Relations; Science; Social Media; Stockholm; The Baltic Sea; Time; Trash Diving; Violence; Visibility; Waste; Water; Social Anthropology; socialantropologi;

    Abstract : In this dissertation, I investigate relations between humans, waste, pollution, and marine life. I introduce the concept of Aquabiopolitics as a means to understand how humans govern life in water in order to enrich human life on land. READ MORE

  4. 2. Lake Hydrodynamics and Pollution Transport under Climate Change : The Case of Lake Victoria

    Author : Seema Paul; Henrik Ernstson; Zahra Kalantari; Abhijit Mukherjee; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bathymetry mapping; model verification; water balance; correlation; tracer transport; wind hydrodynamics; pollution and nutrient transport; climate effect; Mark- och vattenteknik; Land and Water Resources Engineering;

    Abstract : A very small part of the total earth’s water is freshwater (only 2.5 %). Unfortunately, due to climate change and pervasive manmade activities, surface freshwater quality in many places of the world has become degraded. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nonpoint source water pollution management : Monitoring, assessment and wetland treatment

    Author : Lorin Reinelt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : The management of nonpoint (diffuse) sources of-water pollution has received increased attention during the past decade. New techniques that aid in the identification and assessment of these diffuse sources can increase the chances for success of nonpoint source control efforts. READ MORE

  6. 4. Theoretical Investigation into Longitudinal Dispersion in Natural Rivers — A Scaling Dispersion Model

    Author : Zhi-Qiang Deng; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; soil mechanics; Väg- och vattenbyggnadsteknik; Environmental technology; pollution control; Miljöteknik; kontroll av utsläpp; offshore technology; hydraulic engineering; Civil engineering; Scaling dispersion.; Parameter estimation; Numerical scheme; Dispersion coefficient; Natural river;

    Abstract : Using a broad variety of scientific methods this dissertation systematically investigates the fundamental mechanisms underlying the dispersion processes in natural rivers and their mathematical descriptions in a geometrical framework. Emphasis is on the geometrical variations and irregularities of a natural river and their scales. READ MORE

  7. 5. Assessing environmental exposures. Air pollution in Scania, southern Sweden

    Author : Ralf Rittner; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; air pollution; dispersion modelling; health impact assessment; emission database; Particulate matter PM ; epidemiology;

    Abstract : Background: The environment where we humans live provides the fundamental requirements we need to survive – food to eat, water to drink, and air to breathe. The quality of these elements has a major impact on human health, as they can contain substances that are detrimental to health. These we call environmental pollutants. READ MORE
