  1. 1. From Ocean to Table: Microplastic contamination in Nordic salts

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

    Författare :Anna Nyika; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Microplastic MP ; MP pollution; plastic pollution; sea salt; rock salt; Nordics; Iceland; Denmark; plastic waste management; human health; marine environment.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Large amounts of plastic in the oceans originate from mismanaged plastic waste, and microplastics (MPs) are the most common type of waste. They can be found in household products, such as sea salts. Therefore, monitoring pollution levels is essential to improve marine health and food safety. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Co-occurring Cold Extremes in North America and Unusually Warm Weather in Europe

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Petros Stergiou; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Extreme temperature events co-occurrence; cold spells; warm extremes; Europe; North America; Pan-Atlantic atmospheric teleconnections; Samtidiga extrema temperaturhändelser; kalla extrema; varma extrema; Europa; Nordamerika; Pan-Atlantiska atmosfäriska telekopplingar;

    Sammanfattning : In this project, we identified and examined the 50 coldest extreme temperature eventsin North America (CENA) and the 50 warmest extreme temperature events insouthwestern Europe (WEEU) during the winter seasons from 1948 to 2023. For theanalysis, we utilized daily NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data for temperature, sea levelpressure (SLP), and 500hPa geopotential height (Z500). LÄS MER

  4. 3. Changes in cetacean presence and behavior in response to reduced marine traffic - the effects of a nationwide lockdown

    Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Halmstad

    Författare :Lisa Falk Lindberg; Lindqvist Erika; [2022]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Creating noise-pollution and other disturbances, marine traffic poses a great threat to marine mammals all over the world which may demonstrate through short- and long-term changes in behavior and distribution. The Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 provided a setting to study the effects of marine traffic on cetacean presence and interactive behavior. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Arctic amplification and their relation to regional warming

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Marianne Olsson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Arctic; arctic amplification; climate; climate change; global warming; metrics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Arctic amplification (AA) is defined as the enhanced warming of the surface temperatures in the Arctic region relative to the globe or Northern Hemisphere (NH) in response to external forcings. It is a prominent feature of the climate system. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Building tunnels, burning bridges : a feminist critical discourse analysis on the gender-infrastructure nexus in the case of planning inter-island linkages on the Faroe Islands.

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

    Författare :Sissal Tokadottir Dahl; [2020]
    Nyckelord :gender-infrastructure nexus; feminist critical discourse analysis; masculinism; islandness; interconnecting infrastructure development; gendered development; Social Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : This study concerns hegemonic claims of knowing and how they manifest as discourses on interconnecting infrastructure planning on the Faroe Islands. The archipelago can be considered a substantial infrastructural project, with several sub-sea tunnels in the construction and planning-stages. LÄS MER
