  1. 1. 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.

  2. 2. Digitizing and Mapping Channel Heads Across Various Forested Regions in Sweden Using a High-Resolution DEM : A Regional Analysis of How Landscape Properties Influencing Channel Head Initiation

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Amanda Jarefjäll; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Acting as a hydrological link between the terrestrial landscape and the larger downstream river network, channel heads and their immediate headwaters are essential geomorphological features in our landscape. Not only due to their ability to transport water and sediment and cycling of nutrients, but as an important component for ecosystem productivity and aquatic habitats. READ MORE

  3. 3. Foreland evolution of Blåisen, Norway, over the course of an ablation season

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Alexander Hamilton-Foyn; [2020]
    Keywords : Geomorphological Mapping; Structure from Motion; Glacial Landforms; Ice-Marginal Landforms; Landform Preservation; Hardangerjøkulen; Norway; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This study presents a detailed investigation into the evolution of sedimentary landforms over an ablation season at Blåisen, an outlet of the Hardangerjøkulen Icecap, Norway. The two visits to Blåisen, one each side of the ablation season, allowed the preservation and evolution of the landforms to be studied. READ MORE

  4. 4. Investigating Sand Dune Location, Orientation and Geomorphometry Through GEOBIA-Based Mapping: A Case Study in Northern Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Melanie Stammler; [2020]
    Keywords : sand dunes; geomorphological mapping; object-based image analysis; landscape development; sanddyner; geomorfologisk kartläggning; geografisk objektbaserad bildanalys; landskapsutveckling;

    Abstract : Climate change has repeatedly been framed as the defining issue of the Anthropocene and with the Arctic changing at unpreceded speed need is high for a profound understanding of the Northern Swedish landscape. Northern Swedish aeolian sand dunes have been impacted by climatic changes throughout time. READ MORE

  5. 5. Assessment of Drone-Borne Multispectral Mapping in the Exploration of Magmatic Ni-Cu Sulphides – an Example from Disko Island, West Greenland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ethan Barnes; [2020]
    Keywords : mineral exploration; UAV; multispectral sensors; Illukunnguaq dyke; Greenland;

    Abstract : The senseFly eBeePlus fixed-wing drone is a market available UAV compatible with a range of sensors that includes the Parrot Sequoia+ multispectral camera. Commercial applications of the drone predominantly focus on agriculture, environmental management, and engineering applications. READ MORE
