  1. 1. Taiga Heat System : Intelligenta kläder

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

    Författare :Robin Sandgren; Elin Philipsson; [2020]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : What kind of equipment is lacking today for people working in extremely cold climates? The body reacts strongly to cold and direct exposure to low temperatures can have devastating consequences. Exposure to low temperatures is more common in the Nordic countries in southern parts of Europe, especially during outdoor work during the winter. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Factors Controlling Mercury Concentration in Rivers in the Mackenzie River Basin, Northwestern Canada

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Jack Hewitt; [2020]
    Nyckelord :mercury; Mackenzie River Basin; regression; Canada; community-based water monitoring;

    Sammanfattning : Mercury (Hg) in rivers and streams of the Mackenzie River Basin (MRB) presents a risk to fish, aquatic mammals, and humans. This thesis makes use of newly-released water quality data, including total mercury (THg) and dissolved mercury (DHg), gathered through the NWT-Wide Community-based Water Quality Monitoring (CBM) program.

  4. 3. Migration routes, stopover sites and home range sizes of Taiga Bean Geese (Anser fabalis fabalis) breeding in northern Sweden and central Norway tracked by GPS tags

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Författare :Jorina Boer; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Taiga Bean Goose; Anser fabalis fabalis; migration; GPS; stopovers; home range;

    Sammanfattning : The Taiga Bean Goose (Anser fabalis fabalis) has shown a recent decrease in population size. For geese breeding in central Scandinavia, the delineation between different subpopu-lations is not entirely clear and more detailed knowledge regarding migratory routes is still lacking. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Characterization of the Recombination Landscape in Red-Breasted and Taiga Flycatchers

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Evolutionsbiologi

    Författare :Bella Vilhelmsson Sinclair; [2019]
    Nyckelord :recombination; Ficedula parva; Ficedula albicilla; flycatcher; statistical phasing; speciation;

    Sammanfattning : Between closely related species there are genomic regions with a higher level of differentiation compared to the rest of the genome. For a time it was believed that these regions harbored loci important for speciation but it has now been shown that these patterns can arise from other mechanisms, like recombination. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of Wildfire Burn on Permafrost Landcover and Catchment Hydrology in Manitoba, Canada

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Andreas Andersson; [2019]
    Nyckelord :wildfire; permafrost; catchment hydrology;

    Sammanfattning : Permafrost is a strongly controlling factor on Arctic hydrology due to its effect on ground permeability, and thus surface and ground water flow paths. As wildfires are increasing in occurrence and magnitude in permafrost regions, they may alter the hydrological regime via permafrost thaw and degradation that increases ground permeability. LÄS MER
