1. Reconstructing Past Climate by Using XRF and Loss of Ignition on Loess from Adventdalen, Svalbard : Rekonstruktion av tidigare klimat genom attanvända XRF analys och antändningsförlust på lössavlagringar från Adventdalen, Svalbard
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : By analyzing the texture, composition and chemical composition of loess soils, the reconstruction ofpast climate regimes is enabled, which can improve our understanding of current and future climatechange. Properties such as grain size and composition, mineralogy, organic matter and chemicalcomposition can provide information about which environmental factors were present during thedeposition of the sediment, which can lead to a detailed picture of the climate history of a site.

2. A high-resolution oxygen isotope reconstruction of humidity changes in central Sweden during the late Holocene
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)Abstract : Records of stable oxygen isotope variations from a variety of proxies have been used in palaeoclimatic research since the 1950’s. Several studies have applied stable isotope analysis of lake sediments to reconstruct past climate changes in central and northern Sweden, including a study of Lake Blektjärnen in Jämtland, central Sweden, by Andersson (2010).

3. Late Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction on a peat sequence from northeastern South Africa, using grass phytoliths as main proxy
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och kvartärgeologi (INK)Abstract : Contemporary a geographical imbalance of where palaeoclimatological studies have been undertaken exists, where the majority of palaeodata is based on studies from the northernhemisphere. Multiproxy analysis was performed on a peat core from Lydenburg, north-eastern Mpumalanga, covering the last 1.600 years. READ MORE

4. Comparison between two sediment X-ray Fluorescence records of the Late Holocene from Disko Bugt, West Greenland : paleoclimatic and methodological implications,
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Popular summary: X-raying the climate archive of Disko Bugt. Disko Bugt is a large bay in West Greenland north of the Arctic Circle. Because of the influence of the relatively warm ocean current coming from the south; the West Greenland Current, it has a mild climate despite its latitude. READ MORE

5. Stratigraphic studies of the Taniente Palet bog at the north-western corner of Isla de los Estados Tierra del Fuego, South America
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Fourteen somewhat overlapping 1-m cores, forming a total sequence of about 10.90 metres, were retrieved from Taniente Palet bog on Isla de los Estados, Argentina. The cores were described and correlated both visually and by measuring magnetic susceptibility and loss on ignition. Twelve samples were also taken for radiocarbon dating. READ MORE
