In the Seve Nappe Complex on Mt. Grapesvare, Swedish Caledonides, coronitic dolerites and eclogites occur in psammitic and pelitic schists. The transition between them is a 200 m wide zone with small boudins of garnet amphibolite. That zone trends N95°E and does not coincide with any tectonic discontinuity. The intensity of deformation and the lithology of the host rock do not change at the transi
Summary: This study is a part of the project "Lithostratigraphy and glacial dynamics during the Pomerian Phase". The objective is to solve the problems concerning the deglaciation of the south Baltic area during the last glaciation. The Polish Baltic coast is under heavy erosion from the seawaves. Steep morainic cliffs, often more than 10 meters high, offer excellent sections. A clear di
Land is an important asset and redistribution of land is a sensitive subject in Colombia. Land issues in Colombia are complex and include political, social and economic aspects. Due to an on-going conflict people are being denied access to land. In Colombia there are between 3.3 and 4.9 million internally displaced persons that have been deprived of land. In a country where many base livelihoods o

Sölvesborgs kommun ser en viss osäkerhet i sin framtida vattenförsörjning. De har bland annat problem med hög salthalt i grundvattnet. Kommunen är därför intresserad av att finna ett nytt vattentäktsområde som komplement och kanske ersättning till deras befintliga täkter. Ett intressant sådant område ligger vid Siesjön strax norr om tätorten Sölvesborg. Här finns möjligheter att hitta en sedimentäThis investigation on geology and hydrogeology has been carried out in Sölvesborg, a municipality in the province of Blekinge in the south-east part of Sweden. The occurrence of salt groundwater in some of the existing wells within the region, has caused the local water-authority to look for a new water supply. One possible area for a new water supply is close to the lake Siesjön, north of Sölvesb
Summary: Manama Mission is a Lutheran mission station in the Gwanda District, Zimbabwe, that suffers from a shortage in water supply. Its only source of water at present is a sand dam in the nearby Tuli river. During June, July and August 1990 a ground water study was carried out at the mission. This was done by Patrich Holmström, Per Möller and Mats Svensson, students at University of Lund, Swede
Summary: This study deals with local vegetation and land use history contemporary with prehistory clearance cairns and stone walls in the area of Rösered, province of Västergötland, south-western Sweden. Pollen analysis of a humusrich layer buried below a stone wall was carried out. It revealed that: -the layer developed as mull, first in open woodland dominated by birch, later in grassland with
Summary: This sedimentological study was carried out within Theme B of the ESF associated programme PONAM (Polar North Atlantic Margins - Late Cenozoic Evolution). This part of the programme is focused on the glaciation history during the last interglacial-glacial cycle in the Scoresby Sund area, East Greenland, and the Svalbard archipelago. The main objective of Theme B is to compare the history
Summary: The investigated area - the parish of Baldringe lies c. 10 km north of Ystad in the province of Skåne, southern Sweden. The area is a part of the inner hummocky landscape. Samples for pollen analysis were taken in an alder fen, surrounded by pastures. The locality is named Skogshejdan, and is situated within the former outlying land to the village Baldringe. The main purpose of the study
In orogenic belts, the relations between basement and cover rocks are important because of the information they give about the nature and evolution of the belt. In the Scandinavian Caledonides, basement-cover contacts can be found in windows where Precambrian basement has been exposed in antiformal structures, due to the deep erosion level of the mountain chain. The Grong-Olden Culmination (NE of
Sammanfattning: Examensarbetet ingår som det sista momentet på geovetarlinjens fjärde år vid Lunds universitet. Det har utförts vid Studsvik Energiteknik AB inom affärsområdet Säkerhetoch systemanalys vid NPE-gruppen. Studsvik är beläget ca 25 km nordost om Nyköping och ca 90 km söder om Stockholm. Examensarbetet har utgjort en del av ett forsknings- och utvecklingsprojekt, kallat "Recipient The research paper presented here completes the undergraduate geological studies at the University of Lund, Sweden. The work was performed at Studsvik Energiteknik AB (at the Studsvik Nuclear division, the NPE-group), at Studsvik 25 km northeast of the town of Nyköping and about 90 km south of Stockholm. The work forms part of a research and development project called "the Recipient evolution
A rich palaeospinacid selachian fauna, comprising 1141 isolated teeth, has recently been collected from the latest Early Campanian strata ofthe Kristianstad Basin. Four palaeospinacid species have been found: Synechodus perssoni nov.sp., Synechodus lerichei Herman 1977, Paraorthacodus andersoni (Case 1978) and Paraorthacodus conicus (Davis 1890). The recovered material suggests that only ontogenet
Uppsatsen undersöker skönlitterärt, isländskt bildspråk i svensk översättning. Fokus för studien ligger på litterära, det vill säga nyskapade, metaforer och de övriga, utvalda bildspråkskategorierna används i jämförande syfte. För ändamålet används Englar alheimsins, en roman av Einar Már Guðmundsson. Den svenska översättningen av Inge Knutsson jämförs med det isländska originalet i syfte att få r
Quantum memories are used for storing the quantum mechanical states of photons and release identical photons at a later time. This has many applications within the field of quantum computing and is also essential in order to achieve long range quantum communication and cryptography. In this thesis Atomic frequency comb (AFC) quantum memories were investigated. In particular, three-level memory sch
Summary: The aim of this palaeoecological study is to demonstrate and date human impact during the Mesolithic and the Neolithic time in an area considered to be relatively unsuitable for farming and livestock-breeding. The study area is located on the Kullaberg peninsula in northwestern Skåne, South Sweden. The peninsula constitutes a hilly bedrock terrain with Quaternary deposits in the topograph
The conodont fauna recovered from the Arenig strata of the "Stenbrottet" quarry represents two biozones, i. e. the underlying Baltoniodus triangularis/B. navis Zone and above, the Paroistodus originalis Zone. The thickness of the sediment and the composition of the conodont fauna were compared with those of contemporaneous localities from Öland, Västergötland, Jämtland and Bottenviken. I
In 1987 Swedish Exploration Consortium AB carried out a drilling (Köpingsbergsborrningen 3) in the Vomb Trough, Scania, southern Sweden. The borehole was sited near the town of Ystad and reached the Precambrian crystalline basement at a depth of 1160 m. Foraminiferal faunas obtained from the drill-cuttings indicate that the boring penetrated a Cretaceous and possibly uppermost Jurassic sequence, w
The mid-Rhaetic sequence at Lunnom, with coal and kaolinitic clays, indicates partly deltaic environments affected by alluvial processes during humid conditions. Of special interest is a thin bed of sandstone with coarse, angular quartz grains. The bed occurs mainly as a covering sheet on top of a heterolithic sequence in the eastern parts of the pit, while it is recognized as isolated dunes insid
