  1. 1. Foreland evolution of Blåisen, Norway, over the course of an ablation season

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Alexander Hamilton-Foyn; [2020]
    Keywords : Geomorphological Mapping; Structure from Motion; Glacial Landforms; Ice-Marginal Landforms; Landform Preservation; Hardangerjøkulen; Norway; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study presents a detailed investigation into the evolution of sedimentary landforms over an ablation season at Blåisen, an outlet of the Hardangerjøkulen Icecap, Norway. The two visits to Blåisen, one each side of the ablation season, allowed the preservation and evolution of the landforms to be studied. READ MORE

  3. 2. Implications of a rapidly thinning ice-margin for annual moraine formation at Gornergletscher, Switzerland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Lukas Rettig; [2020]
    Keywords : Recessional moraines; Ice-marginal processes; Glacier retreat; Glacial geomorphology; Glacial sedimentology; Alpine glaciers; Swiss Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study examines genetic processes and climatological significance of annual moraine formation in the foreland of Gornergletscher, a large alpine-valley glacier located in the southern Swiss Alps. A particular focus is set on moraine ridges that have been forming between 2007 and 2019, a period when the glacier has been subject to accelerated retreat and pronounced frontal thinning. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dynamics of a retreating ice sheet : a LiDAR study in Värmland, SW Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Alastair Goodship; [2017]
    Keywords : LiDAR; SIS; retreat; deglacial; DEM; geomorphology; Värmland; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Värmland in south central Sweden lies across the established zone of aquatic-terrestrial transition of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet margin during its rapid final retreat following the Younger Dryas. Recently acquired LiDAR data across Värmland allows more highly detailed observation and analysis of glacial landforms formed during this stage than has previously been possible. READ MORE

  5. 4. Reconstruction of fan-shaped outwash in front of the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap, Iceland : architecture and style of sedimentation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Lina Sultan; [2002]
    Keywords : alluvial fans; Hochsanders; sediment architecture; supraglacial material; tephra; lceland; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Smältvatten som transporteras från en glaciär för med sig material som kan ansamlas framför iskanten. De landformer som då bildas får olika karaktär beroende på t.ex. hur materialet transporteras dit och hur depositionen går till. READ MORE
