2. 1. Transport, degradation and burial of organic matter released from permafrost to the East Siberian Arctic Shelf

   Author : Lisa-Marie Bröder; Örjan Gustafsson; Tommaso Tesi; Elizabeth Canuel; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organic carbon; marine sediments; East Siberian Sea; Laptev Sea; cross-shelf transport; degradation rate constants; carbon isotopes; terrestrial biomarkers; HMW wax lipids; lignin phenols; compound-specific radiocarbon analysis; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : Permafrost soils in the Arctic store large quantities of organic matter, roughly twice the amount of carbon that was present in the atmosphere before the industrial revolution. This freeze-locked carbon pool is susceptible to thawing caused by amplified global warming at high latitudes. READ MORE

4. 2. Navigating the foreign quarters : Everyday life of the Swedish East India Company employees in Canton and Macao 1730–1830

   Author : Lisa Hellman; Leos Müller; Gunlög Fur; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Canton; Macao; Everyday Life; Swedish East India Company; China; 18th century; 19th century; Global history; Maritime History; Port city; Practices; Gender; Masculinity; Groups; Space; Communication; Material culture; Trust; Kanton; Macao; Vardagsliv; Svenska Ostindiska Kompaniet; Kina; 1700-tal; 1800-tal; Globalhistoria; Maritim historia; Hamn; Praktiker; Genus; Maskulinitet; Grupper; Rum; Kommunikation; Materialitet; Tillit; History; historia;

   Abstract : This thesis analyses the everyday life of the Swedish East India company employees in Canton and Macao 1730–1830. Through a focus on everyday practices, analysed on the basis of ethnicity, class and gender, I show how the Swedes and other foreigners led their everyday life in a constant interplay between adaptation to and transgression of Chinese rules.

5. 3. 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

6. 4. Magnetic properties of Neogene regional dikes from east Iceland with special reference to magma flow

   Author : Per Eriksson; Håkan Mattsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tillämpad geofysik; Applied Geophysics;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with rock magnetic measurements on Neogene dikes from the eastern fjords of Iceland. A vast amount of dikes generally striking north-north-east occur as swarms in the glacially eroded lava pile. READ MORE

7. 5. Terrestrial organic carbon dynamics in Arctic coastal areas : budgets and multiple stable isotope approaches

   Author : Vanja Alling; Christoph Humborg; Carl-Magnus Mörth; Rüdiger Stein; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; organic carbon; DOC; POC; multiple stable isotopes; Laptev Sea; East Siberian Sea; Lena River; Arctic; residence times; degradation; Applied Environmental Science; tillämpad miljövetenskap;

   Abstract : Arctic rivers transport 31-42 Tg organic carbon (OC) each year to the Arctic Ocean, which is equal to 10% of the global riverine OC discharge. Since the Arctic Ocean only holds approximately 1% of the global ocean volume, the influence of terrestrially derived organic carbon (OCter) in the Arctic Ocean is relatively high. READ MORE
