2. 1. Environmental impact of peat mining : Development of storm water treatment methods

   Author : Bjørn Kløve; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; geographical and geological engineering; Hydrogeology; drainage artificial floodplaines; phosphorus; suspended solids; nitrogen; erosion; peat mining; peak runoff controll; sedimentation; water treatment; water resources; hydrology; hydraulics; Hydrogeologi; teknisk geologi; teknisk geografi; Geophysics; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi;

   Abstract : Drainage of peatlands increases the transport of suspended solids (SS) and the leaching of nutrients to downstream receiving waters. Increased settling of peat and eutrophication of lakes has been noted in many studies downstream from peat mines. READ MORE

4. 2. How can data science contribute to a greener world? : an exploration featuring machine learning and data mining for environmental facilities and energy end users

   Abstract : Mozambique is one of the largest coal producers in Africa. Extraction of the coal is carried out in the Moatize district of the Tete province in the center of the country. A surface mining technique is used to extract the coal below ground level. READ MORE

6. 4. Landfills and glass dumpsites as future bank accounts of resources : waste characterization and trace elements extraction

   Author : Yahya Jani; William Hogland; Monica Odlare; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Landfill mining; metals extraction; glass dumpsites; hazardous waste; chemical extraction; reduction-melting; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

   Abstract : Environmental pollution and health threats as well as scarcity of raw materials, water, food and energy are among the main challenges our world are now facing. Simultaneously, landfills and open dumpsites still are the dominant global waste disposal option even with their long term environmental impacts in case of greenhouse gases and contaminated leachates.

7. 5. Hydrological spreading of metal pollution and wetlands as nature-based solutions

   Author : Josefin Thorslund; Jerker Jarsjö; Mario Schirmer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : The quality of the Earth’s water resources have deteriorated due to human impacts. A key scientific challenge is to understand, quantify and predict the water-borne spreading of pollutants at relevant scales for freshwater management and water quality restoration programs. READ MORE
