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 naturgeografiAbstract : 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

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 institutionenAbstract : 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. Stratigraphic and palaeoenvironmental observations in the deposits of a postglacial kettle hole, in the county of Västernorrland
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för idé- och samhällsstudierAbstract : The increased human impact on the environment and climate after the retreat of the Last Glacial has strengthened its importance in the region of Västernorrland where Mesolithic sites are evident. This study focuses on a multiproxy analysis, where archaeological and natural science methods are combined to test several techniques in a peat sample. READ MORE
