  2. 11. Remnant echoes of the past : Archaeological geophysical prospection in Sweden

    Author : Andreas Viberg; Kerstin Lidén; Bo Olofsson; Rinita Dalan; Bruce Bevan; Neil Price; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Archaeological prospection; geophysical survey; Sweden; Ground-penetrating radar; magnetometry; Slingram; magnetic susceptibility; Neolithic; Migration period; Viking Age; Middle Ages; Öland; Gotland; Sigtuna; Lapland; Archaeological Science; laborativ arkeologi;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the benefits, pitfalls and possibilities of using geophysical methods in archaeological projects. This is exemplified by surveys carried out at archaeological sites in different geographical and chronological contexts. READ MORE

  4. 12. Linking water and permafrost dynamics

    Author : Ylva Sjöberg; Steve Lyon; Andrew Frampton; Britta Sannel; Georgia Destouni; Michelle Walvoord; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; permafrost; hydrology; arctic; modeling; streamflow; geophysical measurements; ground thermal dynamics; groundwater; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : The extent and dynamics of permafrost are tightly linked to the distribution and movement of water in arctic landscapes. As the Arctic warms more rapidly than the global average, profound changes are expected in both permafrost and hydrology; however, much is still not known about the interactions between these two systems.

  5. 13. Non destructive testing methods for integrity determination of concrete structures

    Author : Jon Rasmussen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tillämpad geofysik; Applied Geophysics;

    Abstract : The ageing of concrete structures can be a threat to human safety as well as being a huge economical factor in the near future. Lifetime prediction and damage assessment of concrete structures will be a growing part of infrastructure planning. READ MORE

  6. 14. Railway Track Stiffness : Dynamic Measurements and Evaluation for Efficient Maintenance

    Author : Eric Berggren; Mats Berg; Laurent Schmitt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway track stiffness; maintenance; soil dynamics; measurement; simulation; vibration; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Railway track stiffness (vertical track load divided by track deflection) is a basic parameter oftrack design which influences the bearing capacity, the dynamic behaviour of passing vehiclesand, in particular, track geometry quality and the life of track components. Track stiffness is abroad topic and in this thesis some aspects are treated comprehensively. READ MORE

  7. 15. Exploring beneath the surface of glacial landscapes : Implementing and improving geophysical investigations in glaciated environments

    Author : Hannah Watts; Peter Jansson; Benedict Reinardy; Darrel Swift; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; Glacial Geology; Glaciers; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : The warming climate is having profound impacts on glacier dynamics and extents. To improve our predictions of future ice mass changes, we require an enhanced understanding of both past and present glacial processes. READ MORE
