Extrapolation ; Lake ; Quantitative analysis ; Regression analysis ; Sweden
The basic aim is, to provide an estimate of the number of lakes in Sweden. The method to do this concerns transformations, regressions and extrapolations.
The article gives a brief summary of till investigations in Sweden, which have long traditions. The main types of till and moraine forms occurring in Sweden are briefly defined and the till stratigraphy is described. A main part of the article
The transfer of technology from Great Britain to Sweden 1825-1850

The AA. have traced the import of machine-tools to Sweden, and mapped the diffusion of that technology within Sweden. Britain was the predominant supplier of technology to Sweden, and the city of Gothenburg was the principal entry point
Inequality in Sweden : has the spatial dimension been annihilated?

The A. analyzes the detailed statistics on Swedish life to conclude that Sweden has gone far toward obliterating regional differences in the important indices of well-being.―(DWG)
Several sites with deep, weathered rock covered by till have been found in western Sweden. The material is unconsolidated, in some cases glacially tectonized. The weathered rock reveals neoformed minerals like smectite, kaolinite, and goethite
. These minerals are typical for lateritic weathering which took place in southern Sweden during Triassic-Tertiary times. Smectite may have formed under recent conditions, too.
Geoecological aspects of episodic permafrost expansion in North Sweden
This paper reports the formation of new discontinuous permafrost and very late seasonal ground thawing in North Sweden. The results are discussed in a historical perspective and in relation to recent climatic variability.
In Sweden the following types of deep-weathering can be distinguished : complete formation of kaolinite, less complete chemical weathering, granular weathering, and fracturing into angular blocks. It is suggested that weathering is of greater
Drumlin formation time : evidence from northern and central Sweden

The AA. mapped and measured more than 3000 drumlins distributed over 9 areas in northern and central Sweden. They compare the morphometric analysis with numerically modelled Fennoscandian ice sheet dynamics for the last glacial cycle. They also
present cosmogenic nuclide data from one of the larger drumlins in the relict landscape of northeastern Sweden, and conclude that the large-scale drumlins of central and northern Sweden did not form during the last deglaciation. Instead, they suggest
