1. Loess as an Environmental Proxy for Reconstruction of Palaeoclimate in the High Arctic
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : We are currently speeding towards significant changes in the climate of the earth which, if ignored, will lead to severely altered climatic conditions with serious consequences for several species and ecosystems. The polar regions especially are very sensitive to climate changes, and the changes these regions undergo affect the climate on a global scale. READ MORE

2. Reconstructing Mid-Late Holocene Arctic Climate Using Loess Deposits From Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The current geological epoch, the Holocene, began 11,700 years ago. During this time, a thermal maximum in temperature was reached somewhere during the early-middle stage at 8-5 kyrs ago which was followed by a period of neoglacial cooling, culminating in the little ice age (LIA).

5. Reconstructing Past Climate by Grain Size and Magnetic Susceptibility Analysis of Belgium Loess From the Late Quaternary
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Aeolian dust that gets deposited builds up loess sequences that cover 10% of the Earth's continents. Such sequences can be several metres thick with material deposited over thousands of years, and therefore act like archives of past climates. READ MORE
