  2. 1. Regolith Properties of Mercury Derived from Observations and Modelling

    Author : Johan Warell; Nick Thomas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astronomy; Mercury; Moon; imaging; photometry; spectroscopy; regolith; space weathering; light scattering; spectral modelling; Astronomi; Astronomy and astrophysics; Astronomi och astrofysik; astronomi; Astronomy;

    Abstract : The properties of Mercury's regolith have been investigated at optical and near-infrared wavelengths with high-resolution imaging, photometric, and spectroscopic observations with the Swedish Vacuum Solar Telescope and the Nordic Optical Telescope. A new global optical map at a spatial resolution of 200 km shows that the well known (from Mariner 10) and poorly known hemispheres are indistinguishable with respect to the distribution, number density, and morphological parameters of bright albedo features.

  4. 2. Laser Interaction with Minerals Common on Asteroids

    Author : Niklas Anthony; Mikael Granvik; Christina Wanhainen; Olle Norberg; Christopher Dreyer; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Onboard space systems; Rymdtekniska system;

    Abstract : Asteroids are worth studying for three reasons: planetary protection, industrial applications, and scientific knowledge. It is critical we develop technologies capable of diverting objects on collision courses with our planet. READ MORE

  5. 3. Weathering of till in northern Sweden and its implications for the geochemistry of soil water, groundwater and stream water

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

    Abstract : Natural exogenic geochemical processes in northern Sweden have been studied. The thesis is focused on field weathering rates and variations in the chemical composition of water with time and space. Variations in weathering rates of silicate minerals are important for the global CO2 cycle, and thus also for climatic changes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Wild Poethics - Exploring relational and embodied practices in urban-making

    Author : Anna Maria Orrù; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; choreography; urban-making; naturecultures; critical spatial feminist practice; imagination; embodied methodology; poethics; affective atmospheres; relational assemblages; artistic research;

    Abstract : Nature is not something separated from the city. With this in mind, this research emerges from the act of urban gardening, staging space for naturecultures that reinforce a direct relation to an urban nature. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biogeochemistry in Subarctic birch forests : Perspectives on insect herbivory

    Author : Jeppe Ågård Kristensen; MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biogeochemistry; Aboveground-belowground interactions; Herbivory; Insects; Subarctic; Birch; soil microbes;

    Abstract : Herbivory can influence ecosystem processes, partly through long-term changes of the plant community compositions, but also more rapidly through the herbivores’ digestive alteration of the organic matter that is cycled through the soil and back to the primary producers. In the Subarctic mountain birch (Betula pubescens ssp. READ MORE
