1. Experiments with sand slurries pumped in 0.1 to 0.5 m diameter pipeline loops
Abstract : The overall objective was to investigate the effectiveness of using high solids concentrations when transporting sand slurries in pipelines with centrifugal pumps. In detail, the aims are to present large-scale experimental pipe friction loss results and how head, efficiency and net suction head performance are influenced by the solid particles in large pumps and to compare friction loss data with a design model.

2. Hydraulic transport of mineral and ore products : friction losses of stratified flows at high solids concentrations
Abstract : The overall objective of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate the hydraulic transport of mineral and ore products with regard to friction losses in horizontal pipelines at high solids concentrations. In detail, the objectives are to present and examine experimental pilotscale and large-scale friction loss results, and to investigate the performance of a scaling relationship for stratified slurry flows with regard to the effects of pipe diameter and solids concentration.

3. Sea Surface Current Measurements Using Along-Track Interferometric SAR
Abstract : Ocean currents affect the weather, the climate and the marine ecosystem. Observing ocean currents is important for understanding the upper-ocean layer dynamics and its interaction with the other components of the climate system. In-situ measurements are sparse and their deployment and maintenance is costly. READ MORE

4. Marine Current Resource Assessment : Measurements and Characterization
Abstract : The increasing interest in converting energy from renewable resources into electricity has led to an increase in research covering the field of marine current energy, mainly concerning tidal currents and in-stream tidal turbines. Tides have the advantage of being predictable decades ahead. READ MORE

5. Retrieval of Wind Velocity Vectors Over the Ocean Surface with Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar
Abstract : Wind over the ocean (normally defined at 10 meter height) is one of the main parameters affectingsea state, generating waves and driving currents. Wind field maps with large area coverageand high resolution therefore represent valuable information for a wide range of applications such asinformation for shipping, which carries 80% of the world’s trade, oil platforms and other maritime infrastructures,modeling, analysis and validation of weather models, improving performance of sensorsonboard maritime infrastructures, etc. READ MORE
