  2. 1. Marine Current Resource Assessment : Measurements and Characterization

    Author : Nicole Carpman; Karin Thomas; Mats Leijon; Sandra Eriksson; Mairead Atcheson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ADCP; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : The increasing interest in converting energy from renewable resources into electricity has led to an increase in research covering the field of marine current energy, mainly concerning tidal currents and in-stream tidal turbines. Tides have the advantage of being predictable decades ahead. READ MORE

  4. 2. Marine nitrogen fixation : Cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation and the fate of new nitrogen in the Baltic Sea

    Author : Isabell Klawonn; Helle Ploug; Lasse Riemann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biogeochemistry; nitrogen cycling; nitrogen fixation; cyanobacteria; Baltic Sea; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : Biogeochemical processes in the marine biosphere are important in global element cycling and greatly influence the gas composition of the Earth’s atmosphere. The nitrogen cycle is a key component of marine biogeochemical cycles. READ MORE

  5. 3. Functional diversity of zooplankton in marine food webs : Integrating DNA metabarcoding and network modeling

    Author : Andreas Novotny; Monika Winder; Catherine Legrand; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plankton; Food-Webs; DNA metabarcoding; Marine; Baltic Sea; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

    Abstract : The oceans are important regulators of the Earth’s climate system by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere taken up by primary producers. Zooplankton, including protozoans and metazoans of different phyla and size classes, occupies several trophic niches and regulates energy flow between primary producers and fish. READ MORE

  6. 4. Sex and symbionts : New discoveries in local and regional patterns of coral ecology and reproduction

    Author : Micaela Hellström; Michael Tedengren; Mats Grahn; John A. H. Benzie; Nancy Knowlton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Indo-Pacific; S. elegans; G. fascicularis; Symbiodinium; size; reproduction; allozymes; ITS2; mtDNA; geography; environment; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

    Abstract : Coral reefs belong to the most diverse and the most threatened ecosystems on earth. Anthropogenic stressors and climate change have led to mortalities at levels unprecedented in modern times. The aims of this thesis are to investigate aspects of the corals’ ability to reproduce, disperse, adapt and survive. READ MORE

  7. 5. Environmental Actions and Response - Reinforced Concrete Structures exposed in Road and Marine Environments

    Author : Anders Lindvall; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reinforcement corrosion; marine environment; frost action; bridges; concrete; chloride; de-icing salt; environmental actions; road environment; moisture conditions;

    Abstract : The expenses for repair, maintenance and remediation of existing concrete structures have significantly increased. A large proportion of these expenses are due to problems related to a lacking durability of the structure. READ MORE
