1. Foreland evolution of Blåisen, Norway, over the course of an ablation season
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : 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

2. Implications of a rapidly thinning ice-margin for annual moraine formation at Gornergletscher, Switzerland
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : 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

3. Processes of lateral moraine formation at a debris-covered glacier, Suldenferner (Vedretta di Solda), Italy
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Lateral moraines are key features of glacial landscapes in high-alpine mountain areas. Research on lateral moraine formation is mostly limited to clean-ice glaciers; lateral moraine formation at the margins of debris-covered glaciers is currently poorly understood in an Alpine and sedimentological context.

4. Dynamics of a retreating ice sheet : a LiDAR study in Värmland, SW Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : 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. Reconstruction of fan-shaped outwash in front of the Mýrdalsjökull ice cap, Iceland : architecture and style of sedimentation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : 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
