  1. 21. Processes of lateral moraine formation at a debris-covered glacier, Suldenferner (Vedretta di Solda), Italy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Monika Rabanser; [2019]
    Keywords : Lateral moraines; Moraine genesis; Moraine stability; Debris-covered glaciers; Clast shape; Alps; Sedimentology; Glacier fluctuations; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Lateral moraines are key features of glacial landscapes in high-alpine mountain areas. Research on lateral moraine formation is mostly limited to clean-ice glaciers; lateral moraine formation at the margins of debris-covered glaciers is currently poorly understood in an Alpine and sedimentological context.

  3. 22. Aeolian and Pedogenic Processes of Loess in Southern England

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ragna Orbe; [2019]
    Keywords : loess; Pegwell Bay; grain size distribution; magnetic susceptibility; past-climate reconstruction; lössavlagringar; Pegwell Bay; partikelstorleks distribution; magnetisk mottaglighet; historisk klimatrekonstruktion;

    Abstract : Loess is an aeolian sediment that can be utilized as a detailed proxy of past climate, since it is one of few sediments that is deposited directly from the atmosphere on land. Investigation of loess deposits can give understanding of past regional and local wind circulation patterns and velocities, atmospheric dustiness, as well as paleo-precipitation and weathering conditions.

  4. 23. A study of sedimentation problems in the lower reaches of the river Österdalälven

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Louise Sjölund; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The river  Österdalälven  deposits  large  amounts  of sediment  when it  passes through  the city of Mora. The sediment  deposition  risks  clogging  the inlet  to the lake  Siljan,  hampers navigation,  and creates a risk  of the river  forming  new channels. READ MORE

  5. 24. The Neoproterozoic Visingsö Group of southern Sweden : lithology, sequence stratigraphy and provenance of the Middle Formation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Viktor Ahrenstedt; [2018]
    Keywords : Neoproterozoic; Visingsö Group; sequence stratigraphy; provenance; lithology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The depositional setting of the Neoproterozoic Visingsö Group has long been a subject of discussion. This study aims to provide additional insights into the lithological composition and provenance of the sediments and to provide a sequence stratigraphic framework in order to define the depositional setting.

  6. 25. Coastal erosion in the region of Thu Bon River mouth, Vietnam

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Eric Asplund; Hanna Malmström; [2018]
    Keywords : Coastal erosion; Cua Dai Beach; longshore sediment transport; EBED; Cascade; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Coastal erosion has increased worldwide during the last decades, mostly due to human activities. Vietnam is not spared, where many places within the country suffer from beach erosion. This report focuses on the region around Thu Bon river mouth in the central part of Vietnam. READ MORE
