1. Climate change adaptation and sea level rise : A comparative analysis of municipal climate change adaptation progress in southern Sweden
Master-uppsats, Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för ekoteknik- och hållbart byggandeSammanfattning : Global mean sea levels are expected to have increased with 0,43-0,84 meters by the year 2100, due to the effects of climate change. An observed increase in the speed of which sea levels are rising is further cause for concern for inhabitants of coastal communities, as threats of flooding, erosion and saltwater intrusion rapidly become more imminent, prompting protective adaptation measures to be considered.

2. Sambandsanalys över dränering av supraglaciala sjöar
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : When the glacier ice melts can the water accumulate in topographic depressions to form supraglacial lakes. These evolve during the melting seasons and can be seen clearly by satellite image on the northeastern part of Greenland. These lakes are known to rapidly drain through fracture propagation. LÄS MER
3. Holocene lake-level changes in the Siljan Lake District – Towards validation of von Post’s drainage scenario
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenSammanfattning : The Dalarna province in south-central Sweden shows a great variety of geological evidence from the Late Quaternary. A peculiar deglaciation pattern, along with unique hydrological conditions, has left a lot of space for speculations over the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the early Holocene. LÄS MER
4. Glaciala och fluviala dalgångar i södra Norge : Ett resultat av mesozoisk sprickbildning och kenozoisk erosion
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Kulturgeografiska institutionenSammanfattning : The dramatic landscape of Norway has a long history of different events during the Phanerozoic. During the Caledonian orogeny, the basement became fractured, and during the warm climate in the Mesozoic, the fractures became deeply weathered. These fracture systems later became eroded, forming the main structures for valleys. LÄS MER
5. Seismic activity and end- or post-glacial faults in northern Fennoscandia, focusing on Sweden
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : During the late or post Weichselian glacial periods, about 9500 years ago, several faulting associated with large scale earthquakes were triggered in northern Fennoscandia. The end- or post-glacial scarps have a range of the lengths c. 3 to 155 km and the heights 0 to 30 m while most of them are reverse faults trending NE-SW with SE dips. LÄS MER
