1. 1. Holocene lake-level changes in the Siljan Lake District – Towards validation of von Post’s drainage scenario

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Savvas Paradeisis-Stathis; [2020]
   Keywords : Lake Siljan; Dalarna; basin isolation; catastrophic drainage; early Holocene; lake sediments; XRF scanning; C N ratio; magnetic susceptibility; pollen; Ancylus Lake; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The Dalarna province in south-central Sweden shows a great variety of geological evidence from the Late Quaternary. A peculiar deglaciation pattern, along with unique hydrological conditions, has left a lot of space for speculations over the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the early Holocene. READ MORE

3. 2. Ascertaining the lithological boundaries of the Yoldia Sea of the Baltic Sea : a geochemical approach

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Sophie Reiche; [2014]
   Keywords : Baltic Sea; Yoldia Sea; lithological descriptions; X-ray fluorescence; biogenic silica; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : When analyzing sedimentary sequences, results which are based solely on macroscopic observations, can lead to misleading and incomplete conclusions. Therefore these observations need to be complemented by analyses on a microscopic or atomic scale, such as through biological, chemical or physical methods. READ MORE

4. 3. Geophysical Mapping around Björkö Island in Lake Mälaren, South central Sweden

   University essay from Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper

   Author : Oscar Fransner; [2013]
   Keywords : Marine geosciences; geophysics; archeology; Birka; Mälaren; subbottom profiling; sediment stratigraphy; multibeam echosounder; backscatter; angular range analysis; shipwrecks.;

   Abstract : The former Viking settlement Birka is located on Björkö Island in Lake Mälaren, the third largest lake in Sweden. Birka is a well-known archeological site that onshore has been carefully examined. READ MORE

5. 4. Litostratigrafiska studier av en platåformad sand- och grusavlagring i Skuremåla, Blekinge

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Fredrik Stenfeldt; [2006]
   Keywords : Skuremåla; litostratigrafi; deglaciation; randfält; strandförskjutning; Baltiska Issjön; Blekinge; lithostratigraphy; subaqueous fan; shoreline displacement; Baltic Ice Lake; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : I Skuremåla, Blekinge har litostratigrafiska studier utförts av en platåformad grus- och sandavlagring. Skuremåla-avlagringen har tidigare beskrivits som ett delta med en överyta på 55 m ö h. Syftet med arbetet är att tolka vad för sorts ”delta” Skuremåla-avlagringen utgör samt depositionsmiljön för sedimenten i fråga. READ MORE

6. 5. Pollen-stratigraphic position of the last Baltic Ice Lake drainage

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Felicia Dobos; [1997]
   Keywords : Baltic Ice Lake; second drainage; Preboreal; Younger Dryas; pollen stratigraphy; mineral magnetic content; total carbon content; Blekinge; Sweden; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : High-resolution analyses of sediments from two sites in Blekinge, south-eastern Sweden (the former Lake Togölen and Lake Bredsjön), were evaluated in order to establish the pollenstratigraphical position of the second and final drainage of the Baltic Ice Lake in relation to the Younger Dryas-Preboreal pollen zone transition. Remanent magnetisation and magnetic susceptibility were used to correlate between parallel cores and to evaluate the amount of inorganic allochthonous material. READ MORE
