1. Indirect effects of river regulation : consequences for landbirds of reduced numbers of aquatic insects
Abstract : Abstrakt: Jag har undersökt hur älvreglering påverkar mängden knott (Tvåvingar: Simuliidae) längs flera norrlandsälvar och vilka konsekvenser denna påverkan får för den landlevande fågelfaunan. Studien visar att utbyggnad av älvar har en negativ effekt på mängden knott. READ MORE

2. Hydrogeochemical effects of hydropower regulation on river-aquifer continuum in boreal rivers
Abstract : Hydropower infrastructure affects many large rivers worldwide, threatening riverine and coastal ecosystems by fragmenting flow, disturbing landscapes and water retention and altering sedimentation and primary production. This thesis investigated major impacts of hydropower regulation on hydrological and geochemical processes in large boreal rivers. READ MORE

3. A Spatial Scale Approach to Fish Habitat Ecology and Impacted Rivers
Abstract : Fish biodiversity in rivers is threatened by continual habitat loss. Evidence to support management and restoration of rivers requires information about the specific habitat requirements for entire fish communities. READ MORE

4. Impact of hydropower regulation on river water geochemistry and hyporheic exchange
Abstract : Hydropower regulation of rivers exhibits a threat to the riverine ecosystems. Fragmentation of flow, landscape disturbances, and water retention are key features of regulated catchments, resulting in reduced floods and geochemical tr¬ansport, non-natural water level fluctuations, and thus disturbed exchange between the river and the aquifer.
