Mikroskopiska echinodermfossil har undersökts ur prover från täljstensintervallet och intillig-gande delar av ’lanna’- och ’holenkalkstenen’ i Hällekis stenbrott, Västergötland. Den undersökta sektionen är från översta volkhov och mellersta kunda, darriwilian (mellanordovicium). Tidigare studier har konkluderat att en regression/transgression skedde under den undersökta perioden, vilket bekräftas Microscopic echinoderms were studied in acid-insoluble residues from the Lanna and Holen limestones at Hällekis, Västergötland, Sweden. The section studied spans the uppermost Volkhov and lower–middle Kunda Baltoscandian stages, within the Darriwillian global Stage (Middle Ordovician). The echinoderms show an increase in abundance, accompanying falling sea levels during the well-recognized regress

Nowadays, due to the global climate change, it is extremely important to find alternative fuels to reduce the utilization of fossil fuels and the emission of air pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbon pollutants, and soot. Ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon free fuel candidate that can store and transport renewable hydrogen (H2) energy. Ammonia has several advantages over hydrogen i

The majority of the coastal area of Scania is highly susceptible to sediment transportation. Due to various influences which are both human induced and natural, the morphology of coastal dunes often alters. Therefore, it is important to assess these changes, especially after major cyclonic storms such as the storm Babet in order to get a comprehensive understanding of the aftermath. The purpose of

Extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and droughts, are predicted to increase due to global warming, significantly impacting forest ecosystems. These ecosystems play a crucial role in the climate system through carbon sequestration and the emission of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs), which can form Secondary Organic Aerosols (SOAs) and thus have a cooling effect on the climate. In
