1. Climate-induced changes : Its effects on plankton food webs from the Baltic Sea
Abstract : The Earth’s climate is determined different processes occurring in the atmosphere, land and ocean.Anthropogenic activities (mainly combustion of fossil fuels) have increased since the 1950’s, andthus the concentration of greenhouse gases that are warming up the planet. READ MORE

2. Tree-rings and climate - Standardization, proxy-development, and Fennoscandian summer temperature history
Abstract : Instrumental meteorological observation are too short for trying to estimate climate change and variability on multi-decadal and centennial time-scales, and when trying to evaluate the response of the climate system to human influence, such as raised concentrations of green house gases (GHG), altered land-use, black carbon etc. To access information about the climate system predating instrumental observations, reliable proxy records (natural archives) are necessary.

3. Plankton communities in a changing world - responses to temperature, brownification and lake restoration
Abstract : The effects of increasing temperatures, in light of climate change, have been a well-studied topic during the past decades. However, aquatic ecosystems are also faced with additional challenges such as increasing water colour, known as “brownification”. READ MORE

4. Summer Climate Variability during the Past 1200 Years in Central Scandinavia – A Tree-Ring Perspective
Abstract : To set the current 20th century warming in a long-term context, significant efforts have been made to reconstruct hemispheric-to-global temperatures beyond the instrumental period. Tree-rings, which have annual resolution and can be precisely dated, have been widely used to infer past climate variability. READ MORE

5. Simulated and observed change of precipitation and temperature in Europe with focus on the Greater Baltic Area
Abstract : The regional climate of the Greater Baltic Area is complex and varies at a multitude of scales in space and time. This thesis contributes to increased understanding of climate change and climate variability in this area focusing on four significant research topics. Droughts have a considerable ecological and socio-economic impact. READ MORE
