  2. 1. Laser Based Flow Measurements to Evaluate Hydraulic Conditions for Migrating Fish and Benthic Fauna

    Author : S M Sayeed Bin Asad; Staffan Lundström; J. Gunnar I. Hellström; Anders G. Andersson; Berhanu Mulu Geberkiden; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fish Migration; Step Cylinder; Shedding; Vortex Street; Shear stress; PIV; benthic fauna; river; stones; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Hydropower is one of the main sources for Sweden’s energy, which is clean and renewable. It is a clean energy source because no fuels are burned which does not pollute the air and it is a renewable energy source as it only uses natural water cycle for generating energy. READ MORE

  4. 2. A geochemical study of the Kafue River, Zambia

    Author : Ulf Pettersson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Abstract : Hydrogeochemical processes and the impact from mining activities within the Kafue River basin, Zambia, have been studied during an annual cycle (March 1995-April 1996). Samples of dissolved (0.45mm) solids have been collected on weekly, once every two weeks and monthly bases at several locations along the river. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomarkers for assessing benthic pollution impacts in a subtropical estuary, Mozambique

    Author : Maria Perpétua Janeiro Scarlet; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; subtrophical estuary; contaminants; biological hierarcial biomarkers; scope for growth; burrowing response; acethylcholinesterase; benthic fauna; southern Mozambique;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the marine environment in a subtropical estuary and particularly on exploring a suite of easy-to-use, cost effective and environmentally valid biological response tools (biomarkers). The main driving force of the thesis is the knowledge of the numerous anthropogenic impacts. READ MORE

  6. 4. Palaeoenvironments, palaeoecology and palaeobiogeography of Late Cretaceous (Campanian) faunas from the Kristianstad Basin, southern Sweden, with applications for science education
