1. Investigating surface spring snow : Changes in the isotopic composition and conductivity along an orographic precipitation gradient in northern Fennoscandia
Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Stable isotopes of oxygen (O18) and hydrogen (H2) are used as proxies of past climates when ice preserved in the polar icecaps. The main assumption when doing paleoclimatic reconstructions using these isotopes is that the isotopic composition of the snow that turned into ice reflect the present temperature of the planet during deposition.

2. The evaluation of preparation techniques for the measurements of hydrogen isotope ratios in ecology
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : The stable isotope ratio of non-exchangeable hydrogen (δ2Hn) emerged as a promising new tool for source attribution in aquatic ecology, which can better discriminate between the organic matter sources. However, determining the absolute isotopic values is problematic due to the functional groups with hydrogen (H) that can easily exchange with the ambient water. LÄS MER
3. An annual evaluation of CH4 oxidation in a freshwater lake
Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Tema MiljöförändringSammanfattning : Freshwater lakes constrain its methane (CH4) emissions through CH4 oxidation. CH4 includes three carbon (C) isotopes; the stable isotopes 12C,13C and the unstable and more uncommon isotope 14C. Methanotrophs (i.e. LÄS MER
4. Påverkar klimatförändringen trofisk fraktionering av C och N mellan växt och konsument i sötvattenekosystem?
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and AssessmentSammanfattning : Temperaturhöjningen som en följd av klimatförändringen väntas gå fortast och bli störst på Nord- och Sydpolen. När lufttemperaturen stiger, stiger även vattentemperaturer och vegetationsgränser flyttas. Detta skulle kunna vara orsaken till den näringsutarmning som kan ses i många arktiska sjöar. LÄS MER
5. Peloponnesian Stalagmites and Soda Straw Stalactites as Climate Archives : Stable Isotopes in New Speleothem Material from Kapsia Cave, Peloponnese, Greece
Kandidat-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiSammanfattning : This study presents results from stable isotope analyses of a modern stalagmite and three soda straw stalactites from Kapsia Cave, the Peloponnese, Greece. The resulting values from the stalagmite are put into context of local meteorological data, as well as previous research from Kapsia Cave. LÄS MER
