  1. 6. Glacial history of the upper Drac Blanc catchment (French Alps)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Felix Martin Hofmann; [2018]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; 10Be exposure dating; structure-from motion; geomorphological mapping; moraine; equilibrium line altitude; Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. READ MORE

  3. 7. 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.

  4. 8. An Optimal Foraging Perspective on Early Holocene Human Prey Choice on Gotland : Affluence or Starvation?

    University essay from Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljö

    Author : Ingegärd Enander Malmros; [2012]
    Keywords : Gotland; grey seal; Holocene; hunter-gatherer; Mesolithic; Optimal Foraging Theory; OFT; 8.2 ka BP cold event; Zen Road;

    Abstract : The Optimal Foraging Theory, rooted in the processual archaeology, uses a measuring methodology where the foraging strategy that gives the highest payoff measured as the highest ratio of energy gain per time unit is analysed (Mac Arthur & Pianca 1966, Emlen 1966). The theory is a branch of evolutionary ecology why much attention is paid to the interdependence of humans and preys and environmental conditions caused by climatologically and geographical changes or by overexploitation or other changes caused by humans.

  5. 9. Early Holocene Seal Hunting on the Island of Gotland

    University essay from Institutionen för kultur, energi och miljö

    Author : Alexander Sjöstrand; [2011]
    Keywords : Gotland; sealhunting; grey seal; ringed seal; stone age; Gotland; säljakt; gråsäl; vikare; stenålder;

    Abstract : Denna studie inkluderar resultat från osteologiska analyser från tre stenålderslokaler på Gotland: Visborgs Kungsladugård, Strå samt Gisslause. Dessa tre lokaler är daterade till Mesolitikum, dvs. bland de tidigaste faserna på Gotland. READ MORE

  6. 10. Early Holocene occurrence of thermophilous trees in the Storulvån valley : a study based on pollen analysis

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Author : Daniella Andersson; [2008]
    Keywords : thermophilous; Storulvån; Holocene; pollen analysis;

    Abstract : Recent studies on vegetation history in the Swedish Scandes have altered the view on deglaciation and patterns of vegetation colonization. It is now suggested that the mountains were deglaciated earlier than previously thought and the climate being warm enough to allow thermophilous tree species to establish further north than generally thought.
