  2. 1. Carbon trace gas dynamics in subarctic lakes

    University dissertation from Stockholm : Department of Geological Sciences, Stockholm University

    Author : Joachim Jansen; Patrick Crill; Andreas Lorke; [2020]
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lakes; methane; carbon dioxide; fluxes; gas transfer; proxy; climate change; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Abstract : Northern lakes are important sources of greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane to the atmosphere. Emissions are expected to increase as the climate continues to warm. Even so, lake carbon budgets are currently poorly constrained. This is in part because of a limited understanding of the processes that govern the flux. READ MORE

  5. 3. Predictive Modelling of Heavy Metals in Urban Lakes

    University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis

    Author : Martin Lindström; [2000]
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Earth sciences; Predictive modelling; heavy metals; lakes; urban influences; Geovetenskap; NATURAL SCIENCES Earth sciences; NATURVETENSKAP Geovetenskap; Sedimentology; sedimentologi;

    Abstract : Heavy metals are well-known environmental pollutants. In this thesis predictive models for heavy metals in urban lakes are discussed and new models presented. The base of predictive modelling is empirical data from field investigations of many ecosystems covering a wide range of ecosystem characteristics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Food Quality for Zooplankton in Humic Lakes

    University dissertation from Lund University, Ecology Department/ Limnology

    Author : Kelly Gutseit; [2007]
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; limnology; Hydrobiology; marine biology; Clear water lakes; Plankton; Seston; Elements; Fatty acids; Humic lakes; Food quality; Zooplankton; limnologi; akvatisk ekologi; aquatic ecology; Marinbiologi;

    Abstract : Food quality affects growth, reproduction and community structure of zooplankton, and has implications for nutrient cycling and the transfer of energy and matter in aquatic food chains. While the issue of food quality in clear water lakes has received great recent attention, studies on food quality for zooplankton in humic lakes are scarce. READ MORE

  7. 5. Greenhouse Gas Dynamics in Ice-covered Lakes Across Spatial and Temporal Scales

    University dissertation from Uppsala : Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis

    Author : Blaize Amber Denfeld; Gesa Weyhenmeyer; Kimberly Wickland; [2016]
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; carbon cycle; climate change; cryosphere; carbon dioxide; methane; lakes; winter limnology; methane oxidation; nutrients; catchment; Limnologi; Limnology;

    Abstract : Lakes play a major role in the global carbon (C) cycle, despite making up a small area of earth’s surface. Lakes receive, transport and process sizable amounts of C, emitting a substantial amount of the greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4), into the atmosphere. READ MORE
