  1. 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 geovetenskaper

    Author : Eilidh Towers; [2022]
    Keywords : sclerochronology; Arctica islandica; palaeoenvironments; Little Ice Age; radiocarbon reservoir effect;

    Abstract : 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

  3. 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 geovetenskaper

    Author : Stephanie Fish; [2016]
    Keywords : Iceland; Little Ice Age; sea level rise; volume-area scaling; glaciers; climate change; Island; Lilla istiden; havsnivåhöjning; volym-area skalning; glaciärer; klimatförändringar;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 3. Geochemical and palaeomagnetic characteristics of a Swedish Holocene sediment sequence from Lake Storsjön, Jämtland

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Joakim Robygd; [2015]
    Keywords : Jämtland; geochemistry; palaeomagnetism; PSV; sedimentation rate; Holocene development; geochronology; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : 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.

  5. 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 landskapslära

    Author : Kristian Silver; [2014]
    Keywords : Barents Sea; Kara Sea; sea ice reduction; Arctic; midlatitudes; feedback effect; Last Millennium; historical climate change; climate modeling; threshold; global warming; cold winters; Little Ice Age; North Atlantic oscillation; LIA; NAO; PMIP3; CMIP5; NASA-GISS.; Barents hav; Karahavet; reducerat istäcke; Arktis; mellanbredderna; återkopplingseffekt; historiska klimatförändringar; klimatmodellering; tröskeleffekt; global uppvärmning; kalla vintrar; Lilla istiden ; Nordatlantiska oscillationen; NAO; PMIP3; CMIP5; NASA-GISS.;

    Abstract : 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

  6. 5. Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating of aeolian sediments of Skåne, south Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Rajendra Shrestha; [2013]
    Keywords : Vomb basin; South Sweden; Skåne; Aeolian; Sediments; Grain size; Luminescence; OSL; Chronology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE
