    Data collected for a study on magma transport in the Götemar mushy granite pluton. The data were generated for the study 'Transport of magma in granitic mush systems; An example from the Götemar pluton, Sweden'. Description of the data, variables and file format are provided in attached the README file and Variable codebook. Below follow a short description of the methods used to collect the data. We mapped magma transport features by tracing magma sheet contacts with tracks using a handheld GPS. The orientation (strike and dip) of magma transport features was measured with an electronic compass using an Iphone 8. 53 granite samples were collected from the Götemar granite. Between six and 27 (avg. 15 per sample), 25 mm × 22 mm core (sub)specimens were extracted from each of the oriented block samples and were used for rock magnetic analysis undertaken at the M3Ore lab at the University of St. Andrews. The cores were analysed with Anisotropy of Magnetic Susceptibility using a KLY-5 Kappabridge using a 3D automatic spinning holder in a field 400 A/m and with a frequency of 1440 Hz. To characterise the magnetic mineralogy we used several different remanent magnetization techniques on the cores including, Isothermal remanent magnetization and demagnetization, Anhysteretic remanent magnetization and demagnetization, Natural remanent demagnetization and 3-component demagnetization measurements. Core specimen magnetization was measured in a shielded room with a Agico JR-6a Magnetometer. Core specimens were magnetized with a Magnetic Instruments pulse magnetizer and Agico PAM pulse and anhysteretic magnetizer. Core specimens were demagnetized with a LDA5 Agico Alternating Field demagnetizer and a MMTD thermal demagnetizer

    Municipal Co-Distribution of Goods – Business Models, Stakeholders and Driving Forces for Change

    The presentation provides background information and illustrates driving forces of the development of municipal co-distribution of goods in Sweden. The business model is “somewhat unique” to Sweden, given the country’s comprehensive welfare sector through which local governments are often the main transport buyers in smaller municipalities without industries or commerce. In this respect, Sweden has been a pioneer in streamlining public administration at all levels replacing manual work procedures and paperwork with the use of computers and digital information, with an overall aim to allow for spending on social and political reform policies. The main business model used in municipal administration is purchases with free delivery whereby the transport of goods occurs directly from contracted suppliers to municipal receivers and where transport costs are included as a hidden surcharge in the product price. Contrary, municipal co-distribution of goods entails a physical and legal consolidation of all external purchases, where in its rudimentary form suppliers leave goods at a freight consolidation center (FCC) where goods are loaded for distribution in shared vehicles to receivers. Municipal co-distribution of goods has evolved from an isolated innovation developed in 1999 to an approach implemented in 39 municipalities of Sweden’s 290 by 2016, through which the business model and procurement practices has been refined with digital tools, first through e-commerce and then with vehicle routing software. Ultimately, the business model could be applied to non-municipal receivers but this would involve digitization and that municipalities regulate vehicle movements as done in public transport.https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/trec_seminar/1129/thumbnail.jp

    Numerical modeling of regional transport, chemical transformations and deposition fluxes of airborne mercury species

    No full text
    This article reviews current knowledge of atmospheric mercury processes and describes activities in Europe and North America to simulate these processes by means of tropospheric chemistry/transport models for regional-scale applications. Advantages and limitations of relatively simple Lagrangian models are discussed within the context of issues currently facing the environmental scientific and policy-making communities. The current state and future direction of comprehensive Eulerian models in simulating the tropospheric chemistry and transport of mercury species is outlined. A number of central improvements in these models are discussed, with consideration of the key progress necessary to include feedbacks and interactions between formation and distribution of clouds and mercury atmospheric chemistry.
