  2. 16. The Beach Beneath the Road : Sustainable coastal development beyond governance and economics

    Author : Chad Boda; LUCSUS; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Beach Management; Barrier Island; Flagler; Florida; Sustainability Science; Immanent Critique;

    Abstract : That Florida is in the midst of an ecological crisis is a perspective increasingly shared by academy, government, private industry and civil society. Ideas about the causes of the state’s environmental problems and how best to address them, however, are not so well aligned. READ MORE

  4. 17. Molecular and isotopic characterization of terrestrial organic carbon released to (sub-)Arctic coastal waters

    Author : Jorien Elisabeth Vonk; Örjan Gustafsson; Jason Neff; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : organic carbon; terrestrial biomarkers; radiocarbon; particulate organic carbon; sediments; sphagnum; Arctic; Bothnian Bay; East Siberian Sea; Kalix River; Kolyma River; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Arctic soils store half of the global soil organic carbon (OC) pool and twice as much C as is currently present in the atmosphere. A considerable part of these carbon pools are stored in permafrost. READ MORE

  5. 18. Organic geochemical investigation of sources, transport and fate of terrestrial organic matter in the southeast Laptev Sea

    Author : Emma Karlsson; Örjan Gustafsson; Volker Brüchert; Sebastian Sobek; Rienk Smittenberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biogeochemistry; biogeokemi; Marine Geoscience; marin geovetenskap; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

    Abstract : Permafrost carbon stores have been suggested to react to warming trends with increased terrestrial loading to its coastal waters. Presently, the warming has been seen to be especially high in the East Siberian Arctic and the fate of the major release of terrestrial matter to these coasts is yet to be detailed. READ MORE

  6. 19. Impact of Water-Level Variations on Slope Stability

    Author : Jens Johansson; Lars Johansson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : Waterfront-soil slopes are exposed to water-level fluctuations originating from either natural sources, e.g. extreme weather and tides, or from human activities such as watercourse regulation for irrigation, freshwater provision, hydropower production etc. READ MORE

  7. 20. Past dynamics of a marine-terminating glacier in lower Borgarfjörður, west Iceland - Analyses of glaciotectonic sediments and landforms

    Author : Thorbjorg Sigfusdottir; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; glacier dynamics; marine-terminating glacier; glaciomarine processes; thrust-block moraines; glaciotectonics; micromorphology; Early Holocene; Late Weichselian; Iceland;

    Abstract : Large and complete sections through glacial landforms formed in subaqueous environments are rare, impeding our knowledge of their internal composition and the processes responsible for their formation. Following the last deglaciation of the Icelandic Ice Sheet (IIS), a marine-terminating outlet glacier advanced out of the fjord of Borgarfjörður resulting in large-scale glaciotectonic deformation of glaciomarine sediments.
