1. 1. Grain-Size Analysis of Loess Deposits of the Last Glacial Period, NW France

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Linnéa Rodin Borne; [2021]
   Keywords : loess; grain-size; glacial; Weichselian; Primel-Trégastel;

   Abstract : Loess is an unique record of the paleoclimate of the Quaternary. Because it is directly deposited from the atmosphere, it can be used as a proxy for wind speed and circulation patterns. It can also be directly dated using luminescence. READ MORE

3. 2. PLANT MIGRATION AT THE END OF THE WEICHSELIAN GLACIATION : Macrofossil evidence of early coniferous trees at two northern Swedish sites

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Karan Zakrzewski-Sharma; [2019]
   Keywords : Scandinavia; Weichselian; plant migration; macrofossils; climate change;

   Abstract : Studies of vegetation history bring a new incentive to our understanding of plant survival and migration in arctic environments. For decades, environmental research was based on palynological data and these studies created a notion that tree species such as larch (Larix sibirica) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) did not grow in northern Scandinavia at the end of Weichselian glaciation.

4. 3. Cryptic refugia vs. Tabula Rasa: Boreal trees in glacial Fennoscandia : Plant growth during the Weichselian glaciation and the early Holocene in northern Europe

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Anne van Woerkom; [2016]
   Keywords : boreal trees; Fennoscandia; cryptic refugia; Weichselian; glacial survival;

   Abstract : Recent studies applying innovative technologies, such as genetic analysis and carbon dating, contradict the palynological based assumption that Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Norway spruce (Picea abies) vanished from Fennoscandia during the Last Glacial Maximum (c. 20.000 yrs BP) and re-colonized after the cold Younger Dryas (c. 12.

5. 4. Seismic activity and end- or post-glacial faults in northern Fennoscandia, focusing on Sweden

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap

   Author : Kie Oyama; [2016]
   Keywords : Fennoscandia; seismicity; end post-glacial fault; deglaciation; glacial uplift;

   Abstract : During the late or post Weichselian glacial periods, about 9500 years ago, several faulting associated with large scale earthquakes were triggered in northern Fennoscandia. The end- or post-glacial scarps have a range of the lengths c. 3 to 155 km and the heights 0 to 30 m while most of them are reverse faults trending NE-SW with SE dips. READ MORE

6. 5. The paleoceanography of Kattegat during the last deglaciation from benthic foraminiferal stable isotopes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Yasmin Bokhari Friberg; [2015]
   Keywords : δ13C; δ18O; Kattegat; Baltic Sea; stable isotopes; foraminifera; deglaciation; paleoceanography; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : En borrkärna från Anholt (Kattegatt) togs upp under IODP-expedition 347 i Östersjön. Kärnan är daterad till ~18-14 ka BP och representerar deglaciationen i slutet av Weichselistiden. READ MORE
