  1. 1. 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 institutionen

    Author : Tim Bjermo; [2022]
    Keywords : glacial geomorphology; remote sensing; LiDAR; sedimentology; glacitectonite; deformation structures; hummocky moraine; quaternary geology; deglaciation; glacial geomorfologi; fjärranalys; sedimentologi; glacitektonit; deformationstrukturer; småkullig morän; backlandskap; moränlandskap; kvartärgeologi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : 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.

  3. 2. Determination of depositional environment and luminescence dating of Pleistocene deposits in the Biely Váh valley, southern foothills of the Tatra Mountains, Slovakia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Ingrid Bejarano Arias; [2020]
    Keywords : Luminescence dating; glacifluvial deposits; sedimentological analysis; High Tatra Mountains; IRSL dating.; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Tatra Mountains have had several glaciations during the Quaternary. The deposits located in the southern foothills were classified as glacifluvial, based on geomorphology, but its sediments have not been studied in detail. READ MORE

  4. 3. 2D Effects of Geomorphology and Discharge on Hyporheic Exchange—a HEC-RAS Modelling Study

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Olivia Preston; [2020]
    Keywords : average hyporheic exchange velocity; water surface elevation; water surface concavity; hydrostatic head;

    Abstract : Hyporheic exchange is an ecologically and biogeochemically essential function of rivers and streams. One important driver of hydrostatic (hyporheic) exchange is gra- dients in the hydrostatic hydraulic head at the streambed. READ MORE

  5. 4. Two Boat Lake as an Historical Archive for Future Studies by GRASP : Greenland Analogue Surface Project

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sara Dahlgren; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Two Boat Lake is a non-glacial lake situated within the largest ice free area on Greenland. This literary study has investigated whether it could potentially become a good environmental archive in future studies. READ MORE

  6. 5. Geomorphological evidence for an ongoing transgression on northwestern Svalbard

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Kristian Westlund; [2014]
    Keywords : sea level; Svalbard; geomorphology; lagoons; estuaries; havsnivå; geomorfologi; laguner; estuarier; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Rise and fall of the global sea level during Pleistocene and Holocene are mainly caused by glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors directly linked to the cyclic increase and decrease of the Earth’s ice sheets. Apart from the dominating glacio-isostatic and glacio-eustatic factors, several other components have influenced the global sea level, which complicates the regional sea level curves of the world.
