1. 1. Estimating active layer thickness at the high Arctic study site Zackenberg from remotely sensed ground subsidence

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Lotte Wendt; [2021]
   Keywords : active layer thickness; DInSAR; subsidence; permafrost; Zackenberg; CALM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The active layer thickness (ALT) is an indicator of permafrost thaw, which potentially leads to the release of large amounts of greenhouse gases under global warming, and thus could further amplify climate change. The thaw depth of the active layer also governs seasonal surface deformation, caused by the volume change between ice to water, which poses risks for slope stability and infrastructure foundations.

3. 2. Detection of slush on the Greenland Ice Sheet using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite imagery

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Viktor Wu; [2020]
   Keywords : slush; Greenland Ice Sheet GrIS ; surface mass balance SMB ; sea level rise SLR ; satellite imagery; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Sea Level Rise (SLR) is a growing global concern that is heavily influenced by a warming climate. Because of a potentially large added mass to the ocean through ice melt, the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) plays an important role in the contribution to SLR. READ MORE

4. 3. Glacial history of the upper Drac Blanc catchment (French Alps)

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Felix Martin Hofmann; [2018]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; 10Be exposure dating; structure-from motion; geomorphological mapping; moraine; equilibrium line altitude; Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. READ MORE

5. 4. Experimental zircon alteration and baddeleyite formation in silica saturated systems : implications for dating hydrothermal events

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Alexander Lewerentz; [2011]
   Keywords : zirkon; baddeleyit; kiselmättat system; hydrotermal omvandling; kopplad upplösning-utfällning; experimentell petrologi; svepelektronmikroskopi; elektronmikrosondanalys; energidispersiv röntgenemissionsspektroskopi; sydvästra Grönland; zircon; baddeleyite; silica saturated system; hydrothermal alteration; coupled dissolutionreprecipitation; experimental petrology; scanning electron microscopy; electron microprobe analysis; energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy; southern West Greenland; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Åldersbestämning av fluidrelaterade händelser. Zirkon och baddeleyit är mineral som kan användas för att åldersbestämma bergarter genom radiometriska metoder. När mineralen bildas bygger de in uran i sin struktur, men inte bly. READ MORE

6. 5. Robust U-Pb baddeleyite ages of mafic dykes and intrusions in southern West Greenland : constraints on the coherency of crustal blocks of the North Atlantic Craton

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Mimmi Nilsson; [2009]
   Keywords : geography; geology; West Greenland; mafic dykes; U-Pb baddeleyite; crustal blocks; North Atlantic craton; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Popul�rvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Studien �r en del av ett st�rre projekt (LIP-projektet) som syftar till att med hj�lp av exakta dateringar av diabasg�ngar rekonstruera kontinenternas l�ge f�r c:a 2.5 miljarder �r sedan. READ MORE
