1. SEA CHANGE Social-ecological co-evolution in Baltic Sea fisheries
University dissertation from Stockholm : Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm UniversityAbstract : Sustainable management of natural resources requires an in-depth understanding of the interplay between social and ecological change. Linked social-ecological systems (SES) have been described as complex adaptive systems (CAS), which mean that they are irreducible, exhibit nonlinear dynamics, have interactions across scales and are uncertain and unpredictable.

2. Baltic Sea from Space The use of ocean colour data to improve our understanding of ecological drivers across the Baltic Sea basin – algorithm development, validation and ecological applications
University dissertation from Stockholm : Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences, Stockholm UniversityAbstract : Coastal areas are the most densely populated areas in the world and thus are under immense anthropogenic pressure. To ensure their function and ecological role, coastal areas require continuous monitoring and management. The rapidly emerging field of satellite remote sensing provides a unique opportunity to monitor both land and oceans from Space. READ MORE

3. Air-Sea Fluxes of CO2 Analysis Methods and Impact on Carbon Budget
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important greenhouse gas, and the atmospheric concentration of CO2 has increased by more than 100 ppm since prior to the industrial revolution. The global oceans are considered an important sink of atmospheric CO2, since approximately one third of the anthropogenic emissions are absorbed by the oceans. READ MORE

4. Light conditions in seasonally ice-covered waters within the Baltic Sea region
University dissertation from Stockholm : Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant SciencesAbstract : Seasonal ice cover is a major driver of seasonality in aquatic ecosystems in the Baltic Sea region. Ice cover influences the underwater light conditions directly by limiting the light transfer and indirectly by modifying the mixing and circulation under the ice. READ MORE

5. Mesoscale Processes over the Baltic Sea
University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis UpsaliensisAbstract : The objective of this thesis is to study mesoscale processes above the Baltic Sea, which is a small, semi-enclosed sea where land-sea interaction may have a large impact on the offshore conditions. It is only the last tens of years that offshore research has become more popular, and one reason for this is the increasing offshore wind energy, which poses the need for accurate estimates of wind speed and turbulence conditions in the marine environment.
