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. A sedimentological and stratigraphical study of Veiki moraine in northernmost Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Þorbjörg Sigfúsdóttir; [2013]
   Keywords : Veiki moraine; glacial geology; Weichselian glaciation; northern Sweden; supraglacial lakes; Veikimorän; glacialgeologi; Weichselistiden; norra Sverige; supraglacial sjö; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Veiki moraine is a landform area consisting of rim-ridged subcircular hummocks and plateaus with depressions in between, mostly located within a N-S extending zone of a hummocky landscape. It is believed to have formed during the pre-late Weichselian and survived overriding by ice during the subsequent glaciations. READ MORE
