1. Arctica Islandica – Annually Banded Mollusc Offers High Temporal Resolution Record Into End Of North Sea Little Ice Age
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Sclerochronology affirms the well-established fact that banded growth increments in marine molluscs accurately record oscillations in climate and environment for the past millennia or more. This study considers how such records can enhance understanding of environmental shifts across the 18th to 20th centuries. READ MORE

2. Icelandic Glacial Ice Volume Changes and its Contribution to Sea Level Rise since the Little Ice Age Maximum
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Satellite imagery and volume-area scaling are used to asses the glacier area and ice volume of Iceland from the Little Ice Age maximum to present day, obtaining a final result in sea level rise between 1890 - 2015. The Little Ice Age was a time of regional cooling, with glaciers reaching their maximum extent (~1890 for Iceland) with warming and glacier retreat after this period ended. READ MORE

3. Geochemical and palaeomagnetic characteristics of a Swedish Holocene sediment sequence from Lake Storsjön, Jämtland
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : As a part of a French-Swedish collaboration project to reconstruct middle to northern European climate variations during the Holocene, a sediment sequence from Lake Storsjön, Jämtland was retrieved and analysed for geochemical and palaeomagnetic properties. The subsampled sequence, composed of one freeze core and three Niederreiter piston cores, revealed information of both climatic, environmental and anthropogenic changes over the past 10,800 years.

4. On the Relation Between Arctic Sea Ice and European Cold Winters During the Little Ice Age 1400-1850
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : This study aims to investigate the possible historical correlation between sea ice reduction in the Arctic and cold winters in Central Europe. The study is conducted over a cold period in Europe known as the Little Ice Age (LIA), 1400–1850, and uses a Global Climate Model with eight different forcing scenarios. READ MORE

5. Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating of aeolian sediments of Skåne, south Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Wind is an important agent of transportation of sediments and to change the landscape. Aeolian sediments can be inferred as a proxy for past climate. In Sweden aeolian sediments are not widespread and there are not so many studies on chronological and paleoenvironmental aspects.
