6. Monitoring of heat exchanges in thesnowpack of Foxfonna glacier, Spitzbergen,Svalbard.
University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : The processes of meltwater storage in firn and the impact of refreezing on firn-coveredglaciers have been investigated on the Greenland ice-sheet. On Svalbard, climate changepromotes the disappearance of firn on glaciers. READ MORE

7. Glacial lakes in the Torneträsk region, northern Sweden, are key to understanding regional deglaciation patterns and dynamics
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiAbstract : 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

8. A re-investigation of hummocky moraine formed from ice sheet decay using geomorphological and sedimentological evidence in the Vomb area, southern Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Glacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with dead ice meltout and passive deglaciation.

9. Assessment of ice loads on piled structures based on local conditions
University essay from KTH/BetongbyggnadAbstract : This master report studies structural design methods for ice loads and the impact of local conditions. Ice loads occur due to ice movements or expansion of the ice sheet. Specifically, this study analyses ice loads on piled structures and ten different design methods and handbooks to calculate the ice load. READ MORE

10. Post-IR IRSL dating of K-feldspar from Loess at Lowland Point, SW England : Developing a Chronology for Past Climate Records
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Loess deposits are terrestrial clastic sediments derived from aeolian deposition. Loess is transported in periglacial conditions and was mainly deposited in cold environments around glaciers during the Quaternary period. READ MORE
