2. 1. Development of the Laitaure Delta, Swedish Lappland : A Study of Growth, Distributary Forms and Processes

   Author : Hans Andrén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Recent delta formation; hydraulic geometry; distributary forms and processes; X-ray radiography; Sarek; Lappland; Earth Science with specialization in Physical Geography; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot naturgeografi;

   Abstract : Deltaic processes were studied on the Laitaure delta. Specific aims were to: analyse forms and processes in distributaries with regard to hydraulic geometry relationships; investigate the distribution of water into different distributaries; analyse the morphological development of the delta; and quantify the advance of the delta front.

4. 2. Geography and geometry of pre-Caledonian western Baltica: U-Pb geochronology and Palaeomagnetism

   Author : Emma Rehnström; Berggrundsgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical geography; geomorphology; pedology; cartography; climatology; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; marklära; kartografi; klimatologi; Fennoscandia; correlations; Baltica; Early Palaeozoikum; palaeogeography; orthogneisses; nappes; palaeomagnetism; U-Pb geochronology; Caledonian orogen; Scandinavia;

   Abstract : In an attempt to reconstruct the pre-Caledonian cratonic margin of Fennoscandia, U-Pb geochronological and geochemical investigations have been performed on allochthonous orthogneisses in the northern Swedish Caledonides. The crystalline basement of the nappes have also been examined to further constrain the continuation of various chronologically defined orogenic belts. READ MORE

5. 3. Managing Laponia : A World Heritage Site as Arena for Sami Ethno-Politics in Sweden

   Author : Carina Green; Hugh Beach; Thomas Thornton; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Laponia; World Heritage; Swedish Sami; ethnic mobilization; articulation; indigeneity; nature conservation management; Cultural anthropology; Kulturantropologi; Kulturantropologi; Cultural Anthropology;

   Abstract : This study deals with the implications of implementing the World Heritage site of Laponia in northern Sweden. Laponia, consisting of previously well-known national parks such as Stora Sjöfallet and Sarek, obtained its World Heritage status in 1996. READ MORE

6. 4. Early structural and metamorphic evolution of the Scandinavian Caledonides: a study of the eclogite-bearing Seve Nappe Complex at the Arctic Circle, Sweden

   Author : Lena Gunlög Albrecht; Berggrundsgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; oblique compression.; C -type shear bands; anastomozing shear zones; tubular folds; lineation-parallel folds; northern Sweden; Grapesvare Nappe; Seve Nappe Complex; Finnmarkian; Eclogite; corona dolerite; Petrology; mineralogy; geochemistry; Petrologi; mineralogi; geokemi;

   Abstract : In the Seve Nappe Complex of the Swedish Caledonides, coronitic diabases pass into eclogites; sometimes the transition occurs within one and the same boudin. Calculated pressure-temperature conditions for the eclogite facies stage are 20-27 kbar and 650-750°. READ MORE

7. 5. Developing delay-tolerant networking applications for Arctic communities

   Author : John Näslund; Anna Croon Fors; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Arbetsvetenskap; Human Work Science; Genus och teknik; Gender and Technology;

   Abstract : This thesis explores how usability in delay- and disruption tolerant network (DTN) applications might be developed and how DTN applications services might be put to practical use in remote regions of the Swedish Arctic. The tangible results presented are a set of end-user DTN application services that were developed for the remote sites Saltoluokta and Staloluokta. READ MORE
