1. 1. Reconstructing Weathering and Climate Trends on Loess Deposits in NW France Using XRF Analysis

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Hanna Andersson; [2021]
   Keywords : geochemistry; loess; XRF; weathering; climate change; N-W France;

   Abstract : Analyzing climate changes by loess sediment deposits formed after the last glacial maximum gives us information about how the environment was dynamically before humans physically could record climate changes. Sampling and analyzing loess from different places in the world give us a more reliable view of when events and changes in climate took place. READ MORE

3. 2. Mineralogical and Geochemical characterization of the Fe-Cu-Occurrence and associated Hanging wall and Footwall Alteration halo of the Viscaria D-Zone, Kiruna District, Northern Sweden

   University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Geovetenskap och miljöteknik

   Author : Madelen Estholm; [2019]
   Keywords : Alteration halo;

   Abstract : Northern Norrbotten County is one of the three major ore producing districts in Sweden. Based on the predominance of epigenetic Cu-Au and Fe-oxide mineralization this region is regarded as a typical IOCG province. The massive to layered Viscaria Cu-deposit is proposed to be a VMS deposit of Besshi-type and is unique in deposit type of the region. READ MORE

4. 3. Different generation of controlled moraines in the glacier foreland of Midtdalsbreen, Norway

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Xavier Allègre; [2018]
   Keywords : Glacial sedimentology; glaciology; geomorphology; palaeoenvironmental reconstruction;

   Abstract : A series of small mounds (< 3m) were sampled in the foreland of Midtdalsbreen outlet glacier, southern Norway. These landforms were interesting, especially at site number 1 because they were located very close to a higher Little Ice Age (LIA) moraine (> 5 m), thereby informing the dynamic of the glacier after the LIA at this location.

5. 4. A pre-LGM sandur deposit at Fiskarheden, NW Dalarna : sedimentology and glaciotectonic deformation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Anne-Cécile Flindt; [2016]
   Keywords : deformation; structures; sandur; glaciotectonic; glaciofluvial; fault-propagation fold; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The Fiskarheden quarry, situated in NW Dalarna, central Sweden, reveal thick deposits of coarse-grained sediments of Scott type facies association; a sandur deposited in an ice-proximal proglacial environment. Preliminary OSL dating of the sandur sediments suggest that they are of a pre-Saalian age (>200 000 years). READ MORE
