Along the Swedish west coast the course of deglaciation can be followed by conspicuous ice-marginal zones consisting of moraines and deltas, which mark re-advances or halts during active retreat. On the east coast, the ice-margin retreat has been reconstructed by investigating varved clays. The south Swedish deglaciation chronology

    LUT University LUT School of Energy Systems Electrical Engineering Anna Shigina OFFSHORE WIND POWER PLANT IN MURMANSK REGION: TECHNO- ECONOMIC EVALUATION Examiners: Professor, D.Sc (Tech.) Olli Pyrhönen D.Sc (Tech.) Katja Hynynen ABSTRACT LUT University LUT School of Energy Systems Electrical Engineering Anna Shigina Offshore wind power plant in Murmansk region: techno-economic evaluation Master’s thesis 2019 83 pages, 19 figures, 28 tables and 7 appendices Examiners: Professor, D.Sc (Tech.) Olli Pyrhönen D.Sc (Tech.) Katja Hynynen Keywords: offshore wind, Murmansk region, cold climate conditions, profitability assessment This thesis is aimed to design an offshore wind power plant (WPP) in Murmansk region and assess economic feasibility of it. The adjacent Barents and White seas are considered as promising for wind energy utilization. First, a general description of the region from climate, geographical and economic perspectives is presented for preliminary definition of energy demand and external environmental conditions. The further analysis of the energy network close to the shore revealed a possibility to connect an offshore WPP to existing network on the south and the north of Kola Peninsula. Second, the particular site selection for the offshore WPP is made on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the main energy characteristics of the wind according to meteorological data. Hence, the area between the mouths of the Varzuga and Chavanga rivers in Murmansk region was considered for the accurate evaluation of the potential of the wind resource based on the logarithmic wind profile and specific features of the relief. Third, the model, number and layout of wind turbines are defined according to energy efficiency indicators and depth of the sea floor.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e59456. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e59456 Abstract Background The present-day demand for digital availability of distributional data in biodiversity studies requires a special effort in assembling and editing the data otherwise scattered in paper literature and herbarium collections, which can be poorly accessible or little understood to present-day users and especially automatic data processors. Although the vascular plants of Murmansk Region (northern part of European Russia) are well studied and represented in publications, the accessibility of this knowledge is highly insufficient. The most widely known source is the Flora of Murmansk Region (published in 1953–1966), which remains in use because of its high original quality, detailed elaboration and completeness. We consider digitising this source to be of primary importance in biodiversity studies in the Arctic Region because of its point occurrence maps, which were based on the comprehensive inventory of contemporary herbarium collections.
