2. 1. Risk Estimation of Groundwater Drawdown in Subsidence Sensitive Areas

   Author : Jonas Sundell; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; uncertainty quantification; urban hydrogeology; pore pressure reduction; subsidence; geostatistics; groundwater leakage; soft soil; groundwater drawdown; spatial variability; settlement; probabilistic; risk assessment;

   Abstract : Groundwater drawdown induced ground subsidence is a severe problem in many regions around the world. Leakage of groundwater into a sub-surface construction, resulting in drawdown and subsequent subsidence, can lead to immense damage costs on buildings and installations in urban areas. READ MORE

4. 2. AVHRR NDVI for monitoring and mapping of vegetation and drought in East African environments

   Author : Lars Eklundh; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geologi; fysisk geografi; physical geography; Geology; phenology; seasonality; Fourier series; geostatistics; signal-to-noise ratio;

   Abstract : In this thesis, an assessment is made of the performance of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) derived from coarse resolution data from the NOAA AVHRR sensor, with particular reference to mapping and monitoring of drought and vegetation in East African vegetation and climatic conditions. Methods for analysing time series of satellite data are investigated. READ MORE

5. 3. Spatial variability linking carbon resource heterogeneity and microorganisms; causes and consequences

   Author : Niklas Törneman; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Environmental chemistry; Miljökemi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; Ekologi; Ecology; Geostatistics; Microbial activity; Soil organic carbon; Microbial diversity; Biodegradation; Bioremediation; PAH; Spatial patterns;

   Abstract : Organic carbon and bacteria have a high variability at different scales in the soil, and organic carbon may be a limiting factor for growth of soil bacteria. Thus, it can be expected that these co-vary at different scales in the soil. READ MORE

6. 4. Development of Decision Support Tools for Urban Water Supply Management in Uganda

   Author : Frank Kizito; Roger Thunvik; Patrick Ogao; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Decision support systems; Participatory decision-making; Geovisualization; Non-revenue water; Geostatistics; Action research; Water engineering; Vattenteknik;

   Abstract : In this study, five real-life problem situations were used to explore the challenges of developing and implementing decision support tools for management of an urban water utility in Uganda. The study sought to explore how the degree of adoption of formal decision support tools in practice, generally perceived to be low, could be improved. READ MORE

7. 5. Characterization of Hydrogeological Media Using Electromagnetic Geophysics

   Author : Niklas Linde; Laust B. Pedersen; Max A. Meju; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; Hydrogeophysics; radio magnetotellurics; ground penetrating radar; electrical resistance tomography; inversion; regularization; geostatistics; electrical anisotropy; fractured rock; Geofysik; Geophysics; Geofysik;

   Abstract : Radio magnetotellurics (RMT), crosshole ground penetrating radar (GPR), and crosshole electrical resistance tomography (ERT) were applied in a range of hydrogeological applications where geophysical data could improve hydrogeological characterization. A profile of RMT data collected over highly resistive granite was used to map subhorizontal fracture zones below 300m depth, as well as a steeply dipping fracture zone, which was also observed on a coinciding seismic reflection profile.
