  2. 1. Broad-Scale Patterns in CDOM and Total Organic Matter Concentrations of Inland Waters – Insights from Remote Sensing and GIS

    Author : Enass Said Al-Kharusi; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inlandwater; Remote sensing; Sentinel-2 MSI; CDOM; GIS; climate change;

    Abstract : The rise in CDOM (coloured dissloved organic matter) is likely to be relatively more pronounced in remote northern regions. However, there is a lack of monitoring to confirm this. READ MORE

  4. 2. Bearing the brunt of warming: Interactions between carbon and hydrology in northern Sweden

    Author : Pearl MZOBE; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dissoved organic carbon DOC ; carbon flux; permafrost thaw; hydrological connectivity; GIS analysis;

    Abstract : Climate modelling studies indicate that subarctic ecosystems are predicted to show some of the earliest responses to climate change. The predicted temperature and precipitation changes have implications for the carbon biogeochemical cycle with ancillary effects in permafrost soils, vegetation, and stream networks. READ MORE

  5. 3. Siltation and sedimentation problem in Mosul reservoir dam

    Author : Issa E. Issa; Ian Foster; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : Iraq depends on the Rivers Tigris and Euphrates for its water resources. Recently the flow of these rivers decreased drastically. In view of this situation the true storage capacity of the dams are to be evaluated to ensure prudent water resources management strategies. READ MORE

  6. 4. Impacts of land use change on river streamflow and water quality in a semi-arid catchment : assessment of a catchment under rapid and uncontrolled urbanisation

    Author : Benjamin Gossweiler; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The ongoing degradation of water quality and streamflow in rivers and streams worldwide is mainly due to human action through global land use change, particularly urbanisation. Population growth and economic development are major drivers of urbanisation, which causes environmental problems such as high water demand and solid waste and wastewater generation. READ MORE

  7. 5. An evaluation of the distributions of polychlorinated biphenyls and organic matter in coastal sediments

    Author : Anders Jönsson; Örjan Gustafsson; Detlef Schulz-Bull; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs ; organic carbon; sediment; stable carbon isotopes; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to improve the understanding of what processes and mechanism affects the distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organic carbon in coastal sediments. Because of the strong association of hydrophobic organic contaminants (HOCs) such as PCBs with organic matter in the aquatic environment, these two entities are naturally linked. READ MORE
