What impact would an ice sheet have on a Swedish final repository for spent nuclear fuel? And how does a final repository affect the surroundings if the ground is constantly frozen? The answers to these questions can be found in Greenland.
The nuclear fuel repository has to function and be safe for very long periods of time. SKB’s safety analyses investigate what will happen to the repository during as long a period of time as one million years. That’s the equivalent of as much as eight ice age cycles. By examining existing ice sheets, like the one in Greenland, climatologists can learn enough to be able to model what could occur in the far future.

What impact would an ice sheet have on a Swedish final repository for spent nuclear fuel? And how does a final repository affect the surroundings if the ground is constantly frozen? The answers to these questions can be found in Greenland.
SKB is also studying what happens at the ground surface in a permafrost landscape. How does the water at the surface flow in a landscape where the ground is constantly frozen? And how does the biosphere work, where all life is? These are questions for the GRASP Project: Greenland Analogue Surface Project.

Chile tied it as Fabian Estay\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s left-wing nook kick was headed incredibly by Ivan Zamorano and the ball touched the foot of teammate Pedro Reyes. Roberto Baggio stood at the punishment spot and, for an occasion, flashed back to Pasadena.
``We took hazards to win within the final minute afterwards being in danger to lose,\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\' Baggio mentioned.
``I am very unhappy, as a result of the endeavour my teammates made. Vieri and Baggio had merely two defenders amidst them and the world wide web as Baggio took a lengthy pass from Paolo Maldini.

Chile was leading 2-1 thank you to 2 astonishing strikes by Marcelo Salas, afterwards Religious person Vieri had given Italy a tenth direct off Baggio\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s laterally pass.

The game was marred by arduous play, and the Austrians sounded particularly disillusioned beyond quite a few tackles by the Indomitable Lions. It fell to Salas, who turned to flare it home with his left foot. It also livened up a game which had featured slips, glides, rushes and great helps to protect on the rainy playing surface of the fresh Municipal Battleground, that was drenched by heavy rains some time before kickoff.
Baggio saved the Italians in many instances in 1994, so he transfers minor blame or disgrace beyond the missed punishment kick within kinh mat the finals shootout. And he rescued his group from inside the enormous troubled against the Chileans. ``We envisioned the initial World Mug match to be hard.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'
