  1. 11. Glacial lakes in the Torneträsk region, northern Sweden, are key to understanding regional deglaciation patterns and dynamics

    University essay from

    Author : Karlijn Ploeg; [2022]
    Keywords : deglaciation; glacial geomorphology; LiDAR; glacial lakes; Torneträsk;

    Abstract : The prospect of sea level rise due to melting ice sheets affirms the urgency of gaining knowledge on ice sheet dynamics during deglaciation. The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet serves as an analogue, whose retreat can be reconstructed from the geomorphological record. READ MORE

  3. 12. Multi-method based characterization of calving events at Sálajiegna Glacier - Lake Sulitelma, Northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Martin Schulthess; [2021]
    Keywords : Glaciology; Glacier; Glaciers; Calving; calving front; detection algorithm; Acoustic; Acoustics; Photogrammetry; ice-ocean interactions; UAV; drone; time-lapse; Salajiegna;

    Abstract : Sea level rise concerns millions of people in coastal areas across the globe. One of the largest uncertainties to project future sea level rise is the frontal ablation (accounting for calving and submarine melt) at marine ice margins, around the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet.

  4. 13. Modelling the effects of climate change on ice dynamics at Kangerlussuaq Glacier, Greenland

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Jamie Barnett; [2021]
    Keywords : Glacier; Greenland; Ice Sheet; Outlet; Discharge; Sea level; Kangerlussuaq; calving; ice mélange; melt; retreat;

    Abstract : A consequence of climate change is rising global sea levels, predicted to bring increased socio-economic and environmental impacts to coastal communities. The Greenland Ice Sheet has become a prominent contributor to rising sea levels, a consequence of the Arctic warming at twice the rate of the global average. READ MORE

  5. 14. Implications of ice-bedrock dynamics at Ullstorp, Scania, southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Oscar Juliusson; [2021]
    Keywords : Ice-bedrock dynamics; Hydrofracturing; Bedrock liberation; Plucking; Sediment production; Till continuum; Geomorphology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The field of Quaternary science has, through a long history of high-quality research, produced a vast record of evidence regarding ice sheet dynamics. Consequently, our understanding of such processes and their effects are well understood. READ MORE

  6. 15. Järnets flora – en undersökning av vegetationsutvecklingen vid Röda Jorden

    University essay from SLU/School for Forest Management

    Author : Gunnar Abrahamsson; Jonathan Abrahamsson; [2021]
    Keywords : flora; holocen; pollenanalys;

    Abstract : Röda Jorden är ett kulturhistoriskt besöksområde i Skinnskattebergs kommun. På platsen finns förhistoriska järnframställningslämningar som daterats till 700 år före vår tideräkning. Idag finns en aktivitetsplats som drivs av Riddarhyttans Hembygds- och intresseförening, ”RHI”. READ MORE
