2. 1. A Changing Arctic Climate : Science and Policy in the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment

   Author : Annika E. Nilsson; Björn-Ola Linnér; Sofie Storbjörk; Oran R. Young; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Arctic; climate; framing; knowledge production; regime; institution; actor network; co-production; indigenous knowledge; Arktis; klimat; kunskapsproduktion; regim; institution; aktörsnätverk; traditionell kunskap; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Abstract : Climate change has often been framed as a global issue but slow progress in the global climate negotiations and an increasing need to plan for local adaptation have made it increasingly salient to also discuss the potential of other arenas for climate policy and knowledge production. This dissertation analyzes the interplay between science and policy at the international regional level based on a study of an assessment of the impacts of climate change in the Arctic. READ MORE

4. 2. Industrialisering och förändrad miljöpåverkan : Råvaruflöden samt svavel- och kvicksilverutsläpp vid bruk i norra Kalmar län 1655-1920

   Author : John Svidén; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to analyse the industrialization of some ironworks with a material flow perspective. The ironworks studied were established at the end of the 17th and 18th centuries in the Tjust district in the Southeast of Sweden. READ MORE

5. 3. Modelling organic matter dynamics in aquatic systems

   Author : Charlotta Pers; Lars Rahm; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Vatten; Kol; Oceanografi; Hydrologi; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Abstract : Organic matter is a small but active part of the global carbon cycle. About one third is stored in the oceans where it has a relatively short residence time. The rest is found in the terrestrial biomass and in the soil. Aquatic systems exchange C02 with the atmosphere. READ MORE

6. 4. Anoxic degradation of organic matter in lakes : implications for carbon cycling and aquatic food webs

   Author : David Bastviken; Joseph M Gasol; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ekonsystem i vatten; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Abstract : Considerable evidence from laboratory studies and marine environments suggests that degradation of organic matter (OM) is restricted under anoxic conditions compared to when molecular oxygen (O2) is present. However, other studies contradict this view since they found similar OM degradation rates and bacterial growth rates under both oxic and anoxic conditions in aquatic environments. READ MORE

7. 5. Structuring empirical knowledge on environmental issues : urban heavy metal metabolism

   Author : Johan Hedbrant; Ulrik Lohm; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Föroreningsfrågor; metodik; tungmetaller; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

   Abstract : During the last century, there has been a large import of heavy metals to urban areas. Only a small fraction, about 10%, has reached the biosphere, the rest is still residing in various goods such as cables, construction materials, technical equipment and batteries, which are still in use or abandoned in infrastructure, buildings, households, enterprises and vehicles.
