  3. 17. 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 institutionen

    Author : Oskar Jäckel; [2009]
    Keywords : Disko Bugt; X-ray fluorescence; mineral magnetism; magnetic susceptibility; paleomagnetism; bromine; productivity; Medieval Warm Period; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 18. The impact of founder events and introductions on genetic variation in the muskox Ovibos moschatus

    Author : Linda Englund; [2008]
    Keywords : Canadian archipelago; genetic variation; Greenland; introductions; management; microsatellites; muskox; Norway; Ovibos moschatus; sequential founder events; Sweden;

    Abstract : The muskox is an ungulate that is well adapted to severe arctic conditions. Native populations are today found in northern Canada, the Canadian archipelago and on the northeastern coast of Greenland. READ MORE

  5. 19. Holocene relative sea-level changes in the Tasiusaq area, southern Greenland, with focus on the Ta1 and Ta3 basins

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Linda Randsalu; [2008]
    Keywords : isostasi; havsnivåförändringar; södra Grönland; Holocen; isoleringslagerföljder; Greenland Ice Sheet; isostasy; sea-level changes; southern Greenland; isolation sequences; Holocene; grönländska inlandsisen; geology; physical geography; geologi; naturgeografi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Results from an investigation of relative sea-level changes from c. 11,000 cal. yr BP to the present in the Tasiusaq area, Inner Bredefjord, southwest Greenland, are presented in this thesis. Isolation sequences from two small lakes have been identified using stratigraphic analyses, XRF-scanning, loss on ignition and macrofossil analyses. READ MORE

  6. 20. An environmental magnetic study of a marine sediment core from Disko Bugt, West Greenland : implications for ocean current variability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Keywords : Disko Bugt; mineral magnetism; environmental magnetism; magnetic susceptibility; ARM; SIRM; IRM; HIRM; miljömagnetism; magnetisk mottaglighet; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : An 11 m long marine sediment core was collected during a June-July 2007 scientific cruise with the German research vessel R/V Maria Sibylla Merian to the area of Disko Bugt, western Greenland. The core, designated 343340-6-1, was examined using environmental magnetic methods and X-ray fluorescence. READ MORE
