1. Geochemical Landscape Analysis for the Risk Assessment of Acid Mine Drainage in a Wetland Environment
Abstract : Attenuation of acid mine drainage (AMD) metals originating from abandoned mines and waste rock dumps is investigated in this thesis at Slättberg in central Sweden, where acid mine leachate has been discharging for over 70 years into the receiving wetland stream and mire. Risk assessment of AMD and related polluted lands requires a holistic approach that is able to study the complexity of pollution emissions and impacted landscapes. READ MORE

2. Lake sedimentary archives of medieval mining and smelting in Sweden : tracking environmental changes from site to landscape
Abstract : While the environmental impact of the industrial age is massive, including climate change, pollution, microplastics and habitat loss, our influence reaches further back than many recognize. In Sweden, an early and important activity with large potential impact was the mining and smelting of iron, copper and silver ores over the last ~800 years. READ MORE

3. Post-Mining Restoration in Zambia : Screening native tree species for phytoremediation potential
Abstract : Africa has a long history of mining, which has generated a large amount of wastes (tailings dams and overburden materials) that are hazardous for the environment and human health. Phytoremediation, which involves the use of plants and microorganisms to reduce the toxic effects of heavy metals in the soil environment, is considered an efficient, eco-friendly and cost-effective restoration method.

5. Novel Bioinformatics Applications for Protein Allergology, Genome-Wide Association and Retrovirology Studies
Abstract : Recently, the pace of growth in the amount of data sources within Life Sciences has increased exponentially until pose a difficult problem to efficiently manage their integration. The data avalanche we are experiencing may be significant for a turning point in science, with a change of orientation from proprietary to publicly available data and a concomitant acceptance of studies based on the latter.
