  1. 1. Glacial lakes in the Torneträsk region, northern Sweden, are key to understanding regional deglaciation patterns and dynamics

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Karlijn Ploeg; [2022]
    Keywords : deglaciation; glacial geomorphology; LiDAR; glacial lakes; Torneträsk;

    Abstract : The prospect of sea level rise due to melting ice sheets affirms the urgency of gaining knowledge on ice sheet dynamics during deglaciation. The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet serves as an analogue, whose retreat can be reconstructed from the geomorphological record. READ MORE

  3. 2. A re-investigation of hummocky moraine formed from ice sheet decay using geomorphological and sedimentological evidence in the Vomb area, southern Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Tim Bjermo; [2022]
    Keywords : glacial geomorphology; remote sensing; LiDAR; sedimentology; glacitectonite; deformation structures; hummocky moraine; quaternary geology; deglaciation; glacial geomorfologi; fjärranalys; sedimentologi; glacitektonit; deformationstrukturer; småkullig morän; backlandskap; moränlandskap; kvartärgeologi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with dead ice meltout and passive deglaciation.

  5. 4. Ash distribution and cavities in Icelandic glaciers, a marker for snow accumulation and radar signal velocity change

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Andrea Håkansson; [2020-01-15]
    Keywords : Iceland; GPR; CMP; Glacier; Vatnajökull; Háabunga; Langjökull;

    Abstract : Glaciers in the geologically active Iceland has a high scientific as well as touristic value. In this thesis, the two largest glaciers on Iceland have been studied with GPR to find if the method is suitable to use in future glaciolocial studies where accumulation patterns and similar attributes are in focus in a world of deglaciation.

  6. 5. OSL Dating and Grain Size Analysis: A Case Study in Brattforsheden and the Siljan Area in Central Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Tziavaras Charilaos; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The geomorphological evolution of areas in Central Sweden after their deglaciation from the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FeIS) retreat has been a topic of study in the past, with more extensive work being done the more recent years. It is assumed that the FeIS retreat produced big quantities of fine material, which then could be deposited in the newly exposed areas. READ MORE
