2. 1. Geotechnical Aspects of Buildings on Expansive Soils in Kibaha, Tanzania : Preliminary Study

   Author : Charles Lucian; Staffan Hintze; Bo Berggren; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; expansive soils; soil properties; potential swell; Soil-Structure Interaction SSI ; and superstructure and substructure.; Building engineering; Byggnadsteknik;

   Abstract : The focus of this study is on potential problems resulting from construction on expansive soils in Kibaha region, Tanzania. For the fact that most of the affected structures are founded on expansive soils, a clear understanding of the soil behaviour and their interaction with structures, specifically as they relate to shallow foundations, has been of more interest to the study in order to evaluate properly the source of the problem.

4. 2. Atmospheric and geological entanglements : north american ecopoetry and the anthropocene

   Author : Nuno Marques; Maria Lindgren Leavenworth; Daniel Andersson; Jonathan Skinner; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ecopoetry; ecopoetics; North American ecopoetry; form in poetry; lament; mourning; song; sound; atmosphere; air; geology; Anthropocene; entanglements; community-making; environmental justice; environmental humanities; ecocriticism; new materialisms.; Literature; litteraturvetenskap;

   Abstract : Atmospheric and Geological Entanglements is a study of contemporary North American ecopoetry, a poetry which is characterized by a negotiation or subversion of established cultural representations of nature, and by a re-deployment of poetic forms such as lyrical poetry, pastoral and elegy. The studied poets experiment with form and question well-established categories such as human and nature, instead emphasizing connections between the human, other organisms, and inorganic matter.

5. 3. On the Late Saalian glaciation : A climate modeling study

   Author : Florence Colleoni; Martin Jakobsson; Johan Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate modeling; Eurasian ice sheet; Quaternary; Saalian; surface mass balance; SST; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Marine Geoscience; marin geovetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the glaciation of the Late Saalian period (160 -140 ka) over Eurasia. The Quaternary Environment of the Eurasian North (QUEEN) project determined that during this period, the Eurasian ice sheet was substantially larger than during the entire Weichselian cycle and especially that of the Last Glacial Maximum (21 ka, LGM).

6. 4. Crustal architecture of the Kiruna mining district : Structural framework, geological modeling, and physical rock property distribution

   Author : Ervin Csaba Veress; Tobias Bauer; Stefan Luth; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Kiruna mining district; geological modeling; structural framework; common earth modeling; petrophysical characterization; mineral exploration; iron oxide-apatite; Ore Geology; Malmgeologi;

   Abstract : Rapid technological advancements and growing environmental consciousness created a shifting dynamic of metal demand within the context of contemporary global challenges. The metals play a pivotal role in this transformation and remarkable surge in demand is expected. READ MORE

7. 5. Residual Trapping in Geological Storage of CO2 : Determination from Field Experiments and Data Analysis Using Numerical Modeling

   Author : Saba Joodaki; Auli Niemi; Zhibing Yang; Jonathan Ennis-King; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Residual trapping; CO2 geological storage; Dissolution trapping; Field experiment; numerical modeling; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys; Earth Science with specialization in Environmental Analysis;

   Abstract : Geological storage of CO2 in deep saline aquifers is one of the methods to mitigate the release of this greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. The efficiency of this solution can be improved by better understanding of the relevant trapping processes, as well as by improving available injection techniques and developing tools for more accurate site characterization.
