“Influence of climate change on behavioural traits of Palaemon elegans, an invasive species in the Baltic Sea
The Baltic Sea is undergoing changes due to climate change, including an increase in its temperature. This may in turn lead to changes in the traits of the species that inhabit it, including non-endemic, invasive species. Palaemon elegans is a species native to the Atlantic Ocean that has been …

Modeling the effect of the energy crisis on air quality in the Po Valley, Italy.
This thesis investigates the impact of the energy crisis on air quality in the Po Valley, Italy, with a focus on the effect of changes in methane consumption over the potential changes in wood burn ing consumption. The study employs the WRF-CHIMERE model to simulate the consequences of varying wood …

Environmental Changes in Eastern Lapland during the last 50 years
… Lapland in a long-term perspective. Variables related to the current state of the environment, are atmospheric composition and aerosols, meteorology, and biology. The study is based on measurements from Värriö Subarctic Research station for the years 1973 to 2021. Included in atmospheric …

Phenology Effects on Carbon and Water Dynamics in a Pristine Boreal Fen A multi-decadal analysis from 2005-2007 & 2014-2022
Boreal peatlands are major constituents of the global carbon (C) and water cycles and therefore important climate regulators. These cycle dynamics are strongly determined by plant phenology (e.g.,vascular plant photosynthesis and seasonality) and evapotranspiration (ET), next to other abiotic …

Non-growing season CO2 fluxes of a boreal fen – key drivers and responses to anomalous winter conditions
… Year-round net ecosystem exchange (NEE) data from 17 years was used to analyse the non-growing season carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes together with environmental and meteorological variables at Siikaneva fen in Southern Finland. Generally, the fen acted as a sink of CO2 with a mean annual …

Fermentation of organic waste for bioplastic production. A potential sustainable alternative to fossil-fuel plastic
… a massive problem in the Arctic, affecting aquatic, and terrestrial ecosystems, the cryosphere, and the atmosphere. One of the solutions proposed by the Arctic Council is to improve waste management by using renewable and sustainable materials. This is where bioplastics reveal their importance. …

Quantifying glacier melt enhancement due to dust deposition during the 2022 melt season. Tungnaárjökull glacier, South Iceland
Clean snow has the highest albedo of any natural surface, making snow-covered glaciers an important component of the Earth´s energy balance. However, the presence of light absorbing impurities such as mineral dust on glacier surfaces alters their reflective properties leading to a reduction in …

Characterisation of Microphysical and Optical Properties of Atmospheric Aerosols in a High Arctic environment: Villum Research Station, NE Greenland
Atmospheric aerosols are solid or liquid phase particles which are suspended in ambient air. These particles have an impact on the climate through direct and indirect radiative forcing, and their measurement presents challenges in high latitude environments where concentrations may fall under the …
