- Presents some theoretical principles and empirical evidence relating to the new Swedish production systems for final assembly of motor vehicles. Contends that in these production systems it is possible simultaneously to enhance efficiency and quality of working life. Briefly sketches three production forms as they apply to the final assembly of automobiles and discusses the societal environments in which these different forms of production have evolved. It focuses on Volvo Uddevalla plant as one of the main examples so far of a reflective production system for final assembly of automobiles. Amplifies the analysis of different production flow patterns for final assembly and in particular addresses the issue of semi‐parallel mechanistic production flow and parallel organic production flow as alternatives to serial flow on a conventional line assembly. A comment: This publication is authored together with e.g. senior research competencies (1) within vocational learning and training as well as (2) within time-geography with whom Engström have had long time cooperation procedures. But also personal at our department/research group (Mats Johansson) well as our knowledgeable contact person (Bertil Johansson) within Volvo contributed (he has really helped us out for decades and was responsible for the continuous contacts with Volvo in most any matter).

- Alluvial fan-like landforms have been identified on Mars. Since alluvial fans are recorders of processes that are sensitive to climatic conditions, the investigation of possible Martian fans can reveal information about the planet`s climate. In lieu of direct observations of active depositional processes on Martian fans, comparisons with terrestrial analogues can constrain models of Martian fan formation derived from remote sensing data. Since present-day Mars is cold and dry, alluvial fans formed in cold deserts should be considered as useful analogues. The probably closest climatic analogue to Mars on Earth are the Antarctic Dry Valleys , but polar deserts can also be found in the Arctic. We report on our field work in summer 2008 and a simultaneous flight campaign with an airborne version (HRSC-AX) of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard Mars Express. The results are compared with measurements of Martian fans, based on HRSC DEM.

Periglacial landscapes on Svalbard: Terrestrial analogs for cold-climate landforms on Mars

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present landforms on Svalbard (Norway) as terrestrial analogs for possible Martian periglacial surface features. While there are closer climatic analogs for Mars, e.g., the Antarctic Dry Valleys, Svalbard has unique advantages that make it a very useful study area. Svalbard is easily accessible and offers a periglacial landscape where many different landforms can be encountered in close spatial proximity. These landforms include thermal contraction cracks, slope stripes, rock glaciers, protalus ramparts, and pingos, all of which have close morphological analogs on Mars. The combination of remotesensing data, in particular images and digital elevation models, with field work is a promising approach in analog studies and facilitates acquisition of fi rst-hand experience with permafrost environments. Based on the morphological ambiguity of certain landforms such as pingos, we recommend that Martian cold-climate landforms should not be investigated in isolation, but as part of a landscape system in a geological context.

Svalbard (Norway) as a terrestrial analogue for Martian landforms: Results on

- Small alluvial fan-like landforms have been observed on Mars in association with recent gullies. Such fans are relatively small (km-scale) when compared to large alluvial fans on Mars, which can reach dimensions of tens of kilometers. The small fans are part of an erosion-transportsedimentation system (alcove-channel-apron). Morphologically very similar systems can be studied on Svalbard (Norway), which is a cold and dry polar desert and, therefore, a potentially useful terrestrial analogue for Mars` climate and climaterelated landforms. Here we give an update on our field work in summer 2008 and a simultaneous flight campaign with an airborne version (HRSCAX) of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) onboard Mars Express. We also present very preliminary results from the field campaign in summer 2009.
