21. Novel approaches in modeling of soil carbon : Upscaling theories and energetics
Abstract : Soils contain more carbon (C) than terrestrial (above ground) and atmospheric carbon combined. Mismanagement of soil C could lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, whereas practices leading to increased C storage would help mitigate climate change while improving soil fertility and ecological functions.

22. Unravelling Sustainability : The complex dynamics of emergent environmental governance and management systems at multiple scales
Abstract : This thesis adopts a complex systems approach to investigate the dynamic emergence of sustainable environmental governance and management systems in multiple contexts in Europe. Accelerating rates of environmental degradation across the world have called the legitimacy of previous environmental governance and management arrangements into question. READ MORE

23. Waterborne pollution from mining in cold climates : Potential catchment-scale immobilization of substances by microbial sulfate reduction (MSR)
Abstract : Waterborne pollution from mining is impacting groundwater and surface water resources in many regions of the world. Main problems include acidification and high levels of dissolved toxic metals that adversely affect humans and ecosystems. READ MORE

24. Comparison of dating methods for paleoglacial reconstruction in Central Asia
Abstract : Reconstruction of former Central Asian glaciers extents can provide valuable information about past atmospheric circulation variations. These extents, often marked by terminal moraines, need to be chronologically constrained. Cosmogenic nuclide exposure (CNE) dating is widely used to directly date moraines. READ MORE

25. The hidden half of the meadow : Interactions between drought, soil carbon, roots and soil microbial communities
Abstract : Soil is a hidden ecosystem which harbours plant roots and countless microorganisms, vital for sustaining life aboveground. These belowground communities provide essential ecosystem services like soil stabilisation and organic matter decomposition. READ MORE
