2. 1. Seismic investigations and physical property studies of natural resources in Finland and Sweden : Efficient exploration of groundwater and mineral resources

   Author : Georgiana Maries; Alireza Malehmir; Christopher Juhlin; Musa Manzi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Seismic reflection; seismic refraction; esker; glacial sediments; iron-oxide; hardrock; efficient exploration; physical property; forward modeling; seismic quality factor; Finland; Sweden; Bergslagen;

   Abstract : Natural resources, such as mineral deposits and groundwater in particular, are crucial for our society, as the world prepares itself for a smooth transition towards green technologies and decarbonization. Apart from extraction and use, innovative mineral exploration solutions are needed to complete the full value chain and to achieve the sustainable development goals. READ MORE

4. 2. Social-ecological resilience and planning: an interdisciplinary exploration

   Author : Cathy Wilkinson; Johan Colding; Thomas Elmqvist; Libby Porter; Yvonne Rydin; Catherine Wilkinson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; social-ecological resilience; strategic spatial planning; urban governance; ecosystem services; Melbourne; Stockholm; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Abstract : Despite considerable expansion in the scope and function of the state with respect to environmental protection, the world’s biological diversity and ecosystem services continue to deteriorate. Finding ways to better govern human-nature relations in cities is an important part of addressing this decline. READ MORE

5. 3. Mining Futures : Predictions and Uncertainty in Swedish Mineral Exploration

   Author : Tobias Olofsson; Patrik Aspers; Gholamreza Azarian; Trine Pallesen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Uncertainty; Risk management; Sociology of the Future; Valuation; Justification; Mineral Exploration; Second Nature; Natural Resources; Sociologi; Sociology;

   Abstract : Any forward-oriented enterprise must somehow manage the challenges posed by uncertainty and with its distant temporal horizons, high stakes, and low probability of success, mineral exploration is a good illustration of this general rule. Based on a combination of interviews, observations, and archival research, this thesis investigates how explorationists use predictions to manage the material complexities and the uncertainties that contribute to determining the future minability of mineral deposits.

6. 4. Tectonic Evolution of the Zagros Suture-and Imbricate Zones in Iraq

   Author : Maher T. Zainy; Maria Ask; Francisco Gomez; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tectonic evolution; Zagros Fold-and Thrust Belt; Remote sensing; Field feological work; 3D geological modelling; Natural resources exploration; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

   Abstract : Orogenic belts are expressions of tectonic activity, often host various natural resources (e.g. petroleum and minerals reserves), and influence the society and environment through hazards (e.g. READ MORE

7. 5. Altiplanic aquifer exploration by multidisciplinary methods : Addressing the basis of sustainable use of groundwater

   Author : Etzar Gomez Lopez; Teknisk geologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Groundwater; Geophysics; Isotopes; Aquifer; Hydrogeology;

   Abstract : The sustainable use of groundwater relies on building up three stages: exploration, development and management. The exploration is crucial to understand the capabilities and limitations of aquifer units; e.g. READ MORE
