1. Geomorphic change along the Rönne river : Effects caused by dams
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Many rivers can shape their path through the landscape with erosion and deposition where the riverbed and riverbanks both shape the direction and energy of the flow. The river flow can erode the riverbanks and create meanders which is when the river creates bends in its path that become increasingly curved. LÄS MER
2. Is it possible to define different process domains in stream systems based on remote data? : Comparing surficial geology, geomorphological characteristics in the landscape and channel slope between lakes, rapids and slow-flowing reaches.
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Restoration of stream channels have become a common way of trying to restore both the channels and the ecosystems that earlier have been channelized mainly to facilitate the movement of timber. According to previous studies a lot of the restoration has been performed without a sufficiently detailed plan and with too little focus on how the landscape interplay with the restoration, which makes the potential to learn from possible mistakes minimal.

3. Geological factors affecting the channel type of Bjur River in Västerbotten County : A study concerning the connection between surficial geology, landforms, slope and different hydrological process domains in a stream catchment above the highest shoreline
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Process domains categorizes sections of streams according to its local dominant processes. These processes often reflect on the local ecology and the streams appearance. But the underlying reason why these different process domains are formed are still not completely certain. LÄS MER
