Zircon U-Pb constraints on the timing of Sveconorwegian migmatite formation in the Western and Median Segments of the Idefjorden terrane, SW Sweden

Det Västra segmentet och Mediansegmentet i Idefjordenterrängen omarbetades under metamorfos och migmatitbildning under den Svekonorvegiska orogenesen (ca. 1 Ga), men det råder fortfarande oklarheter kring tidpunkterna för dessa händelser inom och mellan de två segmenten. Denna studie visar att Svekonorvegisk metamorfos och associerad migmatitbildning inte är samtida i Västra segmentet och MedianseThe Western and Median Segments of the Idefjorden terrane have been metamorphosed and migmatized during the Sveconorwegian orogeny (ca. 1 Ga), but the timing of these events between the two segments remains unclear. Here I show that Sveconorwegian metamorphism and associated migmatite formation is not coeval between the Western and Median Segments and that there is a contrast between the segments

Stratigraphy, sedimentology and geophysical assessment of the early Silurian Halla and Klinteberg formations, Altajme core, Gotland, Sweden

Altajmeborrkärnan togs upp i närheten av Buttle centrala Gotland 2015. Projektet är ett resultat av en internationell borrkampanj mellan geologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet och Iowa universitet, USA. Borrningen gick ned till den underliggande ordoviciska lagerföljden på ett djup av ca 330 m. I denna masteruppsats har karbonatsedimentologin och gamma ray-loggen från de översta 137 m av bThe Altajme drillcore was recovered from near Buttle in central Gotland in 2015. The core was drilled in outcrop belt of the late Wenlock (Silurian) Klinteberg Formation as a result from an international drilling campaign between the Department of Geology at Lund University and Iowa University, USA. The coring continued to the top of the underlying Ordovician strata at a depth of ca 330 m. In this

The Charging Network Experience - Factors affecting the user experience of the electric vehicle public charging network in Sweden

The electric vehicle public charging network has been suggested as a major challenge hampering the further adoption of electric vehicles. Little research have applied a user perspective when investigating the charging network, and there is a knowledge gap concerning what affects the charging network experience of electric vehicle drivers. The area of research was limited to include electric vehicl

Iron and Aluminum leaching from peatland soils in Southern Sweden – Effects on benthic macroinvertebrates

Giftigt lakvatten skadar småkryp Vattnet är turkos-färgat och innehåller giftigt höga halter av metaller, så småningom fälls metallerna ut och bildar en orange sörja som lägger sig som en kvävande filt över allt i vattnet. Livet är inte lätt för vattenlevande småkryp i Fredriksdalsviken. En rejäl översvämning år 2007 i Kristianstad fick missfärgat vatten att välla ut över strandängarna i naturresThe leaching of metals caused by drainage of peatland soils was, in Scania, brought to attention after a flood in Kristianstad 2007. The flood caused large areas of wet meadows to be covered in iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) contaminated water and one of the affected areas was Fredriksdalsviken, a nature reserve important as a breeding area for birds.

Updating on Housing Wealth and Consumption in Sweden

Using the most recent data from 1996 to 2016, I examine the more current relationship between housing wealth and private consumption. I extend the Life-Cycle Hypothesis and separate wealth into housing wealth from financial wealth. The main method em-ployed is the Engle-Granger two-step method. Combined with the use of quarterly data, the method allows investigation of the long-term and short-term
