  1. 1. The Significance of Giant Flank Collapses on Magma Ascent in the NE Rift Zone of Tenerife, Canary Islands: A Structural Modelling and Diffusion Approach

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Kristoffer Ånäs; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Tenerife; volcanic rift zones; analogue gelatine experiments; dykes; Fe-Mg diffusion; ankaramite; Teneriffa; vulkaniska sprickzoner; analoga gelatinexperiment; gångar; Fe-Mg diffusion; ankaramit;

    Sammanfattning : On the volcanic ocean island Tenerife in the Canary archipelago, several giant flank collapses haveoccurred over the last one million years. The link between the lateral collapses and the resultingvolcanism in the rift zones is not fully understood and was investigated within the framework of thisproject. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Design of a variable focal length optics for a SWIR Earth observation camera

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Författare :Sergio David Díaz Martínez; [2021]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of a preliminary design study of a variable focal length optics for a SWIREarth observation camera which is planned to be placed inside a 6U Cubesat. After thesuccess of DRAGO instrument consisting on a SWIR camera onboard a Cubesat, which hasbeen recently launched (January 2021), the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands(IAC) began this project with the intention of adding zoom optics to SWIR space imagingsystems.

    Nyckelord :humanitarian crisis; migration; Canary Islands; West Africa; Senegal;

    Sammanfattning : During 2020 and 2021, a migration crisis has been developing on the Canary Islands in Spain. Large numbers of African migrants have made the dangerous journey from West Africa to the Canary Islands, risking their lives on the Atlantic Sea. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Seeing Stars - Intensity Interferometry in the Laboratory and on the Ground

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Författare :Colin Carlile; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Stellar Physics Instrumentation Interferometry Cherenkov Telescope Array Intensity Interferometry; Physics and Astronomy;

    Sammanfattning : Context Since the time of Tycho Brahe astronomy has been an observing science defined by the quality of its instrumentation. The introduction of primitive telescopes by Galileo in 1609 began a period of development of ever-larger telescopes with greater measuring precision. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Från massmord till turistattraktion : En analys av hur den kanariska ursprungsbefolkningens mänskliga kvarlevor har behandlats

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia
