  2. 1. Sea Ice and Ocean Environmental Applications of Spaceborn SAR

    Author : Sverre Thune Dokken; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Radarsat; SSM I; ERS-1 2; ocean applications; sea ice applications; numerical models; SAR; Arctic Ocean; Envisat; climate change;

    Abstract : The worldwide focus on our changing environment has led to an increased need to observe and characterise a range of environmental phenomena. The Arctic Ocean is particularly sensitive to climate variations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mapping bathymetry : From measurement to applications

    Author : Benjamin Hell; Martin Jakobsson; Michele Rebesco; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ocean and coastal mapping; Digital Bathymetric Model; Geographical Information System; Applications of bathymetric data; Baltic Sea; Arctic Ocean; Seafloor morphology; Ocean circulation; Other earth sciences; Övrig geovetenskap; Marine Geoscience; marin geovetenskap;

    Abstract : Surface elevation is likely the most fundamental property of our planet. In contrast to land topography, bathymetry, its underwater equivalent, remains uncertain in many parts of the World ocean. Bathymetry is relevant for a wide range of research topics and for a variety of societal needs. READ MORE

  5. 3. Development of Nanoporous Inorganic Carbonates for Pharmaceutical and Environmental Applications

    Author : Maria Vall; Ocean Cheung; Maria Strømme; Jessica Rosenholm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mesoporous magnesium carbonate; drug delivery; water purification; CO2 capture; catalysis; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

    Abstract : Mesoporous magnesium carbonate (MMC) is a highly porous, anhydrous material which can be synthesized without the use of templates. This thesis shows how post- and in synthesis modification of MMC can create porous inorganic carbonates suitable for different pharmaceutical and environmental applications. READ MORE

  6. 4. Porous Sorbents for Environmental Applications and Selective Laser Sintering 3D Printing of Dosage Forms

    Author : Michelle Åhlén; Ocean Cheung; Maria Strömme; Jonas Lindh; Christel Bergström; Carlos Grande; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; metal-organic frameworks; zeolitic imidazolate frameworks; mesoporous magnesium carbonate; greenhouse gas capture; adsorption; adsorption kinetics; additive manufacturing; selective laser sintering; personalized medicines; Engineering Science with specialization in Nanotechnology and Functional Materials; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot nanoteknologi och funktionella material;

    Abstract : The rising levels of greenhouse gas emissions from vehicular and industrial pollution constitute a serious concern not only for the environment but for our entire society. Traditional gas capture and separation techniques, such as amine scrubbing for CO2 gas separation, have been commonly used at a commercial scale, however issues relating to high costs and high energy requirements for sorbent regeneration have limited the efficiency of many of these techniques.

  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
