  4. 18. Investigating methods for identifying paleo surge-type glaciers or highly dynamical ice flows in Trygghamn, west Spitsbergen

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Åsa Wallin; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Surge-type glaciers exhibit a cyclic behaviour with an ice mass increase in the reservoir area during the inactive, quiescent phase and a rapid transportation of ice during the active, surge phase. In order to interpret the effects of climate change correctly it is important to distinguish between advances of surge-type glaciers and those of ‘normal’ glaciers, caused by climatic fluctuations.

    Author : Martin Brengdahl; [2016]
    Keywords : dispersal; dispersive traits; local adaptation; rare habitats; Asellus aquaticus;

    Abstract : Dispersal influences several ecological and evolutionary processes, such as intraspecific competition, genetic drift and inbreeding. It can lead to phenotypic mismatch with the habitat when a locally adapted individual winds up in an environment with a divergent selection regime compared to the source habitat. READ MORE
