  2. 1. Benthic environmental responses to climatic changes during the late Quaternary: a micropalaeontological and geochemical approach

    Author : Claire McKay; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; late Quaternary; rapid climate change; Benguela; Mauritania; productivity; upwelling; benthic foraminifera;

    Abstract : There is a limited understanding of how the benthic environment within upwelling regions responded to past rapid climatic changes. Within this thesis, a multiproxy approach is applied to two marine sediment cores from two coastal upwelling sites in the low latitude subtropical Atlantic. READ MORE

  4. 2. Air-Sea Fluxes of CO2 : Analysis Methods and Impact on Carbon Budget

    Author : Maria Norman; Anna Rutgersson; Erik Sahlée; William Drennan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; air-sea exchange; carbon dioxide; Baltic Sea; eddy-covariance method; inertial dissipation method; cospectral-peak method; Baltic Sea measurements; CO2 fluxes; Galathea 3 expedition; Baltic Sea modeling; water-side convection; coastal upwelling; carbon budget; Meteorology; Meteorologi;

    Abstract : Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important greenhouse gas, and the atmospheric concentration of CO2 has increased by more than 100 ppm since prior to the industrial revolution.  The global oceans are considered an important sink of atmospheric CO2, since approximately one third of the anthropogenic emissions are absorbed by the oceans.

  5. 3. Comparing Climate Forcers on a Common Scale

    Author : Erik Sterner; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Spatial-temporal Optimization; Carbon Cycle; Greenhouse Gases; Short-lived Climate Forcers; Upwelling-Diffusion; Metric; Energy Balance; Sea Level Rise; Non-cooperative Nash Equilibrium; Resource Extraction;

    Abstract : The climate is changing at a rapid pace. Through the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the world has agreed to hold the on-going temperature increase below 2 °C. Climate change is caused by emissions of different atmospheric species (climate forcers). READ MORE

  6. 4. Physical control of phytoplankton growth in the Baltic Sea : a multitude of spatio-temporal scales

    Author : Sulev Nõmmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fytoplankton;

    Abstract : Shipboard systems have been used for concurrent quasi-continuous measurements ofparticle size distribution, Chi fluorescence, salt and temperature and meteorologicalparameters. A resolution from 100 m to basin-wide, supplemented with variousmeasurements at fixed stations made it possible to investigate biological- physical couplingsduring the vernal phytoplankton bloom of the two years 1985/86 and in a coastal area ofthe Baltic Sea.

  7. 5. Carbon and nitrogen fluxes associated to marine and estuarine phytoplankton

    Author : Malin Olofsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nutrient assimilation Stable isotopes Single cell diversity Phytoplankton;

    Abstract : Globally, mainly nitrogen or phosphorus is limiting the primary production. New nitrogen can enter estuarine ecosystems as nitrate from upwelling events, from river runoff, atmospheric deposition, or by nitrogen fixation. READ MORE
