På hela norra halvklotet blev glaciärerna allt mindre och denna storlekförändring sattes i samband med den temperaturökning som skett under samma tid. Glaciärerna krympte och man sökte den exakta kopplingen mellan klimatets förändring och smältande glaciärer. Professor Ahlman, glaciolog vid Stockholms universitet beslutade att Storglaciären i Tarfaladalen var platsen där mätningar skulle ske och sedan 1946 har Stockholms Universitet bedrivit verksamhet vid Tarfala Forskningsstation. Stationen fungerar som en plattform för glaciologer och används kontinuerligt av forskare och studentgrupper från SU men även av internationella forskare och studenter. Mätstudierna som utförs i Tarfala är betydelsefullt underlag för glaciologiska och klimatologiska studier, såväl nationellt som internationellt. Verksamheten och forskningsgruppen har med åren vuxit och är idag i stort behov av en större och mer komplex byggnad för att kunna bedriva forskning på världsledande nivå. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt platsen, vinden och forskningsverksamheten. / In the beginning of the 20th century the glaciers in the world got smaller. Scientists couldn’t explain why but tried to find a connection between climate change and melting glaciers. One of them, V. Schytt, made a ski journey between Abisko and Kebnekaise to find the most suitable glacier in Sweden for measuring mass balance. He faced the windy, rough but beautiful valley “Tarfaladalen”. He viewed over ”Storglaciaciaren” and realized that this site is optimal for a glacier research center. Since 1946 the Stockholm University founded a research station where both national researcher as well as international visits and uses as a platform. The data that is collected around this area is important information for glacier studies around the world. We are facing huge climate changes in the world and the Department of Geological Science in Tarfala are in need of a more complex building adapted to the extreme environment that gives the best support to practise science and research at an international high level. During my thesis project I have analyzed the site, the wind and the organisation Department of Geological Science in Tarfala.

Three main questions are examined. First I show there were not just scientific and technical but also political, economical as well as military reasons to build a European rocket base. Second, I scrutinize the reasons to choose Northern Sweden as the location for the rocket base. As it turns out, the main reasons were the favourable location of Northern Sweden within the aurora oval zone, the proximity of the Kiruna Geophysical Observatory, and the possibility to use a large, although not quite uninhabited, area where the launched rockets could crash. Finally, I examine the difficulty of talking about boundaries of various kinds, such as temporal, spatial and functional. The essay also provides a discussion on possible ways to continue research on this topic.</p> Esrange Kiruna space physics geophysics rocket engineering technology ESRO ESA northern lights aurora observatory research station Vassijaure Abisko STS history of science polar rocket base Esrange Kiruna Norrland rymdverksamhet rymdfysik geofysik raket teknologi samer ESRO ESA norrsken aurora borealis observatorium forskningsstation Vassijaure Abisko STS vetenskapsstudier vetenskapshistoria polarforskning norrskensforskning raketbas History of science Vetenskapshistoria History of science and ideas Idé- o lärdomshistoria History of technology Teknikhistoria History of technology and industry Teknik- och industrihistoria Technology and culture Teknik och kultur Other earth sciences Övrig geovetenskap Geophysics Geofysik Space engineering Rymdteknik Space physics Rymdfysik
