   Author : Elena Serra; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Paleoglaciological reconstructions based on glacial geological and geomorphological evidence areused to constrain and test numerical models of ice sheet extent and dynamics. The MAGIC-DMLresearch project (“Mapping, Measuring and Modelling Antarctic Geomorphology and Ice Change, inDronning Maud Land”) is trying to reconstruct the timing and pattern of ice surface elevation changessince the mid-Pliocene across western Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica.

3. 7. Vegetation responses to Late Glacial climate shifts as reflected in a high resolution pollen record from Blekinge, south-eastern Sweden, compared with responses of other climate proxies

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Artemis Karlatou-Charalampopoulou; [2016]
   Keywords : lake sediments; Blekinge; SE Sweden; Pleistocene-Holocene boundary; loss on ignition; pollen analysis; high time-resolution; time lags; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Denna studie fokuserar på en nästan 1700 år lång sjösedimentsekvens från Hässeldala Port i centrala Blekinge, sydöstra Sverige. Den omfattar övergångsperioden mellan pleistocen och holocen, eller mer precist eventen GI-1a och GS-1 samt början av den holocena epoken i iskärnorna, vilket motsvarar de sydsvenska pollenzonerna sen allerød till tidig preboreal.

4. 8. An Analysis and Interpretation of the Geoscience BC Trek Project Till Geochemical and Mineralogical Data to Determine the Surficial Geochemical Expression of Bedrock Au-Ag-Cu-Mo Mineralization on the Nechako Plateau, British Columbia, Canada.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Karin Öberg; [2016]
   Keywords : British Columbia; till; gold; copper; mineralization; British Columbia; morän; mineralisering; guld; koppar;

   Abstract : The mineral exploration in the interior of British Columbia is challenged by an extensive coverage of glacial sediments. The Geoscience British Columbia (GBC) Targeting Resources through Exploration and Knowledge (TREK) Survey has since 2013 collected till samples in the northern interior plateau of British Columbia, covering an area of approximately 25,000km2.

5. 9. The population structure of Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene Neptunea angulata, Gastropoda and an investigation into bias in the fossil record and museum collections.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Thomas Owen; [2016]
   Keywords : Bias; age distributions; taphonomy; population structure.; Partiskhet; åldersfördelning; tafonomi; populationsstrukturer.;

   Abstract : The fossil population structure of the gastropod Neptunea angulata from the late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene was investigated in this project in order to contribute to a wider study on the influence of predation on populations and the evolutionary history of organisms. Over time, predator-prey relationships can drive evolution in a way similar to the Red Queen Hypothesis. READ MORE

6. 10. Reading Pollen Records at Peloponnese, Greece

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)

   Author : Maria Andwinge; [2014]
   Keywords : Pollen; Peloponnese; Greece; Quaternary;

   Abstract : The eastern Mediterranean area is a region of high archaeological importance, it is also a region where climate has been a force interacting with humans in shaping the landscape and vegetation history. Variations in pollen content and composition in various climate archives (e.g. READ MORE
