1. Applying LPJ-GUESS on the Arctic: A model evaluation and benchmarking study
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Warming in the Arctic occurs at a much higher rate than the global average, which has a considerable impact on the Arctic terrestrial carbon cycle. Permafrost thawing can release substantial amounts of carbon, whilst tundra shrubification and tree-line advance, on the other hand, may compensate for this. LÄS MER
2. Analysis of energy efficient heat and lighting systems in a subarctic greenhouse
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematikSammanfattning : This report studies a subarctic greenhouse located in Nikkala, Sweden called Nikkala handelsträdgård. Through a visit to the greenhouse coupled with the creation of two simulation models this study investigates the differences in energy demand with water-carried and air-carried heating systems, high pressure sodium lights and Light emitting diode lights and insulation in parts of the greenhouse without a active cultivation.

3. Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling for streamflow measurements in subarctic climate
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurserSammanfattning : The ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiling) technology has been widely available and acknowledged as an instrument used for different types of flow measurement since 1990s, from small scale river measurements to larger ocean current mappings. This study was conducted by the author in cooperation with SWECO with the focus on smaller scale measurements especially on small natural watercourses in a sub-arctic climate with the purpose to examine if the ADCP technology can be used as a complement to the more classic methods for this type of flow measurements Current meter and Conductivity flow measurements.

4. P-cycling in sub-Arctic lakes – the importance of sediment release and retention
Magister-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Aquatic Sciences and AssessmentSammanfattning : Oligotrophication is generally caused by a decreased nutrient availability, usually due to phosphorous limitation. This is a phenomenon impacting the entire food web and at worst causing cascading alterations within an ecosystem. Lakes of the Northern Hemisphere have lately been documented to be subjected to oligotrophication (e.g. LÄS MER
5. Influence of permafrost disintegration on wetland carbon fluxes in Abisko, Sweden
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : The northern permafrost regions are experiencing a rapid warming as surface temperatures are rising, causing a disintegration of permafrost and a deepening of the active layer (AL). This releases previously frozen carbon, making it available for decomposition by microbes. LÄS MER
