1. 1. Melting Security – Indigenous Livelihood in the Canadian Arctic

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Graduate School

   Författare :Lisa Pohl; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Paris Agreement; Climate Change; Inuit; Nunavut; Societal Security; Social Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The COP21 Paris Agreement is considered a milestone on the way to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. For the first time in history, a climate convention is signed by all 198 members of the UNFCCC, with each signatory state being responsible for developing their own climate strategy that considers the national circumstances.

3. 2. Diet of Arctic char and brown trout in Northern Sweden : potential effects of burbot and lake area

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Författare :Sebastian Dagman; [2023]
   Nyckelord :arctic char; brown trout; diet; stomach content; salmonids; burbot;

   Sammanfattning : To manage and conserve different fish species, it is important to know what factors affect the presence and performance of the species. Relatively few studies have focused on burbot and how they interact with other species. LÄS MER

4. 3. Plant community responses to 15 years of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilization along an elevational gradient in the subarctic tundra

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

   Författare :Gaya Ten Kate; [2023]
   Nyckelord :arctic tundra; climate change; fertilization; nitrogen; phosphorus; plant community composition; species richness; Simpson’s diversity; Shannon-Wiener diversity; elevational gradient;

   Sammanfattning : Climate change in the Arctic has profound effects on tundra vegetation, directly through increasing temperatures and indirectly through changes in plant community composition and nutrient cycling. Fertilization experiments are widely used to study the effects of increased nutrient availability on arctic tundra vegetation. LÄS MER

5. 4. Legacy effects of temperature alterations on microbial resistance and resilience to drying and rewetting

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

   Författare :Franklin Lee Harris; [2023]
   Nyckelord :microbial ecology; soil; carbon dynamics; high latitudes; climate change; moisture stress; isotopes; respiration; trait based ecology; soil microbes; Environmental Changes in High Latitudes EnCHIL ; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Biology and Life Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. LÄS MER

7. 5. Ensam är inte stark i ett smältande men lukrativt Inuit Nunangat

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Författare :Elias Wergelius; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Arctic governance; Indigenous governance; Climate governance; Nunavut; Canada; Canadian politics; Northwest Passage; Mary River mine; Polycentric Governance; Post colonialism; Inuit governance; Local governance; Content analysis; Law and Political Science;

   Sammanfattning : This comparative case study aims to analyze the strategies and levels of influence that local political actors in Nunavut, often with a clear representation of indigenous Inuit and First nation communities, assert towards larger monocentric actors at national and global levels of policy making. This by using the primary theory of Polycentric governance and additional postcolonial perspectives on the cases and policy processes of the Mary River mine expansion project, together with the implementation of Canada’s new Arctic framework of shipping and sovereignty linked to the emerging Northwest passage.
