6. Ground freeze-thaw, snow and roads in northern Sweden
Abstract : In this thesis freeze-thaw along roads in northern Sweden is examined. The examinations are put in a context of changing climate and its amplification towards the Arctic region on earth. The research focuses on the impact of a warmer climate on ground freeze-thaw and in exten- sion road maintenance in the region. READ MORE

7. Contribution to Wideband SAR Space-Time Processing, and Radar Remote Sensing of Sea Ice
Abstract : Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the capability to map the Earth with high resolution and is used in both civilian and military applications. The development of SAR systems is going towards higher resolution. Today there are Wide Band (WB) SAR instruments that have a resolution actually smaller than the operating wavelength. READ MORE

10. Improved building energy simulations and verifications by regression
Abstract : It is common with significant differences between calculated and actual energy use in the building sector. These calculations are often performed with whole building energy simulation (BES) programs. In this process the analyst must make several assumptions about the studied building and its users.
