2. 1. Tracing pathways in the ocean circulation : A temperature and salinity perspective

   Author : Sara Berglund; Kristofer Döös; Jonas Nycander; Göran Broström; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Lagrangian trajectories; Climate modelling; Atlantic Ocean; Southern Ocean; Ocean circulation; heat; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

   Abstract : The ocean circulation plays an essential role in our climate system. It redistributes heat, salt, carbon and other tracers across the globe, making the climate of Earth more moderate. This thesis targets density differences that are driving the ocean circulation. These differences are caused by changes in temperature and salinity. READ MORE

4. 2. Towards Technology Assessment of Ocean Energy in a Developing Country Context

   Author : Linus Hammar; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electricity; Indian Ocean; technology assessment; ocean energy; Africa; rural electrification; ocean thermal energy conversion; wave power; tidal power;

   Abstract : New technologies for the extraction of valuable ocean resources are emerging: renewable ocean energy. Ocean energy technologies have so far primarily been developed in industrialized countries but will be deployed in both industrialized and developing countries. READ MORE

5. 3. Genetic connectivity of fish in the Western Indian Ocean

   Author : Oskar Henriksson; Mats Grahn; Anders Angebjörn; Filip Volckaert; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; population genetics; indian ocean; siganus sutor; valamugil buchanani; scarus ghobban; connectivity; aflp; mtDNA; d-loop; CO1; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Abstract : An almost unbroken fringing reef runs along the east coast of Africa, the lagoon inside the reef is the foundation of almost all artisanal fisheries. It is a low-tech fishery conducted by many people. Some areas can have up to 19 fishermen per square kilometer. READ MORE

6. 4. Managing sea cucumber fisheries and aquaculture : Studies of social-ecological systems in the Western Indian Ocean

   Author : Hampus Eriksson; Maricela de la Torre-Castro; Juan Carlos Castilla; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sea cucumbers; Bêche-de-mer; Trepang; Echinoderms; Fisheries; Aquaculture; Governance; Trade; Seafood; Tropical seascape; Zanzibar; Mayotte; Western Indian Ocean; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : Collecting sea cucumbers to supply the high value Chinese dried seafood market is a livelihood activity available to many people in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO), making it an important part of local economies. These fisheries are generally not successfully managed and tropical sea cucumber fisheries show continuing signs of decline. READ MORE

7. 5. Applications of ocean transport modelling

   Author : Hanna Corell; Kristofer Döös; Björn Kjerfve; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ocean transport modelling; connectivity; particle-tracking; sediment transport; Forsmark; marine protected areas; MPA; stream functions; heat flux; wind forcing; Carcinus maenas; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

   Abstract : The advective motion of seawater governs the transport of almost everything, animate or inanimate, present in the ocean and those lacking the ability to outswim the currents have to follow the flow. This makes modelling of advective ocean transports a powerful tool in various fields of science where a displacement of something over time is studied. READ MORE
