1. Reconstructing Mid-Late Holocene Arctic Climate Using Loess Deposits From Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The current geological epoch, the Holocene, began 11,700 years ago. During this time, a thermal maximum in temperature was reached somewhere during the early-middle stage at 8-5 kyrs ago which was followed by a period of neoglacial cooling, culminating in the little ice age (LIA).

2. Feasibility of reintroduction of European Bison (Bison bonasus) to Sweden with focus on traffic accidents
University essay from SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research CentreAbstract : The historical occurrence of European bison (Bison bonasus) in Sweden during the early Holocene emphasizes the ecological significance for a potential reintroduction. The European bison, the largest herbivore on the European continent, is a keystone species with a significant influence on ecosystem dynamics. READ MORE

3. Holocene lake-level changes in the Siljan Lake District – Towards validation of von Post’s drainage scenario
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : The Dalarna province in south-central Sweden shows a great variety of geological evidence from the Late Quaternary. A peculiar deglaciation pattern, along with unique hydrological conditions, has left a lot of space for speculations over the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the early Holocene. READ MORE

4. Land cover changes in Southern Sweden from the mid-Holocene to present day: insights for ecosystem service assessments
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Climate change and human impact play a huge role in the sustainability and development of ecosystems and the services they offer to societies over temporal and spatial scales. Fossil pollen-based estimates provide unique information on past land cover change, but to date there are not many methods able to create spatially continuous maps and have a fine scale of land cover changes inferred from pollen information.

5. Aeolian and Pedogenic Processes of Loess in Southern England
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : 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.
