  1. 1. Reconstructing Mid-Late Holocene Arctic Climate Using Loess Deposits From Kangerlussuaq, Greenland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : William Mörtsjö Zung; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The current geological epoch, the Holocene, began 11,700 years ago. During this time, a thermal maximum in temperature was reached somewhere during the early-middle stage at 8-5 kyrs ago which was followed by a period of neoglacial cooling, culminating in the little ice age (LIA).

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. High Sampling Resolution Luminescence Dating of Loess in Brittany, France

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Vanda Jakabová; [2021]
    Keywords : aeolian dust; loess; luminescence; dMAR; Brittany; LGM; palaeoenvironment; eoliskt damm; loess flygmo ; luminescens; dMAR; Bretagne; LGM; paleomiljö;

    Abstract : Aeolian dust is an important but poorly understood component of the climate system, which both responds to and drives global climate. Recently, dust produced at the high latitudes is also gaining attention as a possible contributor to the atmospheric dust load. READ MORE

  5. 4. Glacial history of the upper Drac Blanc catchment (French Alps)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Felix Martin Hofmann; [2018]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; 10Be exposure dating; structure-from motion; geomorphological mapping; moraine; equilibrium line altitude; Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. READ MORE

  6. 5. Different generation of controlled moraines in the glacier foreland of Midtdalsbreen, Norway

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Xavier Allègre; [2018]
    Keywords : Glacial sedimentology; glaciology; geomorphology; palaeoenvironmental reconstruction;

    Abstract : A series of small mounds (< 3m) were sampled in the foreland of Midtdalsbreen outlet glacier, southern Norway. These landforms were interesting, especially at site number 1 because they were located very close to a higher Little Ice Age (LIA) moraine (> 5 m), thereby informing the dynamic of the glacier after the LIA at this location.
