1. Urban Snowmelt Processes: Modelling and Observation
Abstract : In northern Scandinavia and other cold regions, urban drainage systems are often unable to cope with the high volumes of melt water which can be sustained for several weeks. High waste water treatment plant inflows, combined system overflows and low water quality are a few problems associated with snowmelt. READ MORE

2. Monitoring transport and fate of de-icing salt in the roadside environment : Modelling and field measurements
Abstract : Roads and traffic are a major non-point source of pollutants and may have severe impacts on surface water, groundwater, soil and vegetation. In cold climates, de-icing salt is one such pollutant that may cause increased chloride concentrations and induce other effects on the environment. READ MORE

3. Global-Scale Modelling of the Land-Surface Water Balance : Development and Analysis of WASMOD-M
Abstract : Water is essential for all life on earth. Global population increase and climate change are projected to increase the water stress, which already today is very high in many areas of the world. The differences between the largest and smallest global runoff estimates exceed the highest continental runoff estimates. READ MORE

4. Ocean Climate Variability over Recent Centuries Explored by Modelling the Baltic Sea
Abstract : Natural variability and anthropogenic factors both contribute to changes in the ocean climate of the Baltic Sea. Observations over the past century indicate that changes in environmental settings and ocean climate have taken place, attracting considerable media attention and building public awareness of climate and environmental issues related to the Baltic Sea.

5. Reducing Stormwater Pollution - Performance of Retention Ponds and Street Sweeping
Abstract : Stormwater, in this study defined as surface runoff in urban areas, is known to transport large quantities of toxic substances to receiving waters. Therefore different practices to treat stormwater have been proposed. In Sweden retention ponds have become a common treatment method during the past decade. READ MORE
