2. 1. Modelling, mapping and visualisation of flood inundation uncertainties

   Author : Nancy Joy Lim; Stefan Seipel; S. Anders Brandt; Eva A. U. Sahlin; Matthew Wilson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cartography; flood; hydraulic modelling; GIS; map; uncertainty; visualisation; GIS; hydraulisk modellering; karta; kartografi; osäkerhet; visualisering; översvämning; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

   Abstract : Flood maps showing extents of predicted flooding for a given extreme event have wide usage in all types of spatial planning tasks, as well as serving as information material for the public. However, the production processes that these maps undergo (including the different data, methods, models and decisions from the persons generating them), which include both Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and hydraulic modelling, affect the map’s content, and will be reflected in the final map.

4. 2. Diagenesis and Sequence Stratigraphy : Predictive Models for Reservoir Quality Evolution of Fluvial and Glaciogenic and Non-glaciogenic, Paralic Deposits

   Author : Mohamed Kalefa; Sadoon Morad; Alessandro Amorosi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Siliciclastic diagenesis; Sequence stratigraphy; Glacial and non-glacial; Fluvial; Paralic and shallow marine; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

   Abstract : Development of a predictive model for the distribution of diagenetic alterations and related evolution of reservoir quality of sandstones was achieved by integrating the knowledge of diagenesis to sequence stratigraphy. This approach allows a better elucidation of the distribution of eogenetic alterations within sequence stratigraphy, because changes in the relative sea level induce changes to: (i) pore water chemistry, (ii) residence time of sediments under certain near-surface geochemical conditions, (iii) variations in the detrital composition, and (iv) amounts and type of organic matter.

5. 3. Diagenesis and Reservoir-Quality Evolution of Paralic, Shallow Marine and Fluvio-lacustrine Deposits : Links to Depositional Facies and Sequence Stratigraphy

   Author : Osama Ahmed Hlal; Sadoon Morad; Hans Annersten; J. Marcelo Ketzer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sandstone; Diagenesis; paralic; shallow marine and fluvio-lacustrine; reservoir quality; sequence stratigraphy; Solid earth geology and petrology; Berggrundsgeologi och petrologi;

   Abstract : Linking diagenesis to depositional facies and sequence stratigraphy enables better prediction of spatial and temporal distribution of diagenetic alterations, and thus of evolution of reservoir quality in sandstones. This thesis demonstrates that employing this approach is possible because depositional facies and sequence stratigraphy can provide useful information on parameters controlling the near-surface diagenesis, such as changes in: (i) pore-water chemistry, (ii) residence time of sediments under certain geochemical conditions, (iii) detrital composition and proportion of extra- and intra-basinal grains, and (iv) types and amounts of organic matter.

6. 4. Diagenesis and Sequence Stratigraphy : an integrated approach to constrain evolution of reservoir quality in sandstones

   Author : João Marcelo Ketzer; Karl Ramseyer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; mineralogi; petrologi och tektonik; Mineral Chemistry; Petrology and Tectonics;

   Abstract : Diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy have been formally treated as two separate disciplines in sedimentary petrology. This thesis demonstrates that synergy between these two subjects can be used to constrain evolution of reservoir quality in sandstones. READ MORE

7. 5. Peatland Bryophytes in a Changing Environment : Ecophysiological Traits and Ecosystem Function

   Author : Gustaf Granath; Håkan Rydin; Joachim Strengbom; Steven K Rice; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allometric scaling; chlorophyll fluorescence; competition; decomposition; flooding; mire; N concentration; nitrogen deposition; photosynthesis; succession; stoichiometry; Ecological Botany; Ekologisk botanik;

   Abstract : Peatlands are peat forming ecosystems in which not fully decomposed plant material builds up the soil. The sequestration of carbon into peat is mainly associated with the bryophyte genus Sphagnum (peat mosses), which dominate and literally form most peatlands. READ MORE
