  1. 11. Vegetation cover change on Tindfjöll mountains, Iceland, assessed by aerial photographs, topography, and climate

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Guðrún Guðjónsdóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Environmental changes; High Latitudes; Physical Geography; Ecosystem sciences; GIS; Climate Change; Vegetation change; Vegetation cover; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Guðrún Guðjónsdóttir Climate change is having a great impact on the fragile High Latitude environment where warming is occurring at a rate at least double the global average. It is urgent to understand the relationship between climate and vegetation cover, which is playing an important role, as a carbon sink, for biodiversity, and for protecting against natural hazards.

  3. 12. Post-IR IRSL dating of K-feldspar from Loess at Lowland Point, SW England : Developing a Chronology for Past Climate Records

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Elin Törnqvist; [2022]
    Keywords : loess; post-IR IRSL; Lowland Point; SW England; Quaternary; löss; post-IR IRSL; Lowland Point; England; kvartär;

    Abstract : Loess deposits are terrestrial clastic sediments derived from aeolian deposition. Loess is transported in periglacial conditions and was mainly deposited in cold environments around glaciers during the Quaternary period. READ MORE

  4. 13. Shallow near-surface lapse rates and their connection to glacier meteorology on Storglaciären and Rabots glaciär, Northern Sweden

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Moon Taveirne; [2022]
    Keywords : Temperature lapse rate; glacier meteorology; near-­surface lapse rate; ablation gradient;

    Abstract : Glacier melt is strongly impacted by climate and meteorology. Temperature lapse rates are used to model glacier melt, and the accuracy of the spatial distribution of modelled melt can be impacted by the lapse rate used in modelling. Additionally, the observed spatial distribution of melt is highly temporally variable. READ MORE

  5. 14. Effect of image in the time of covid-19 and climate change

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/HDK-Valand - Högskolan för konst och design

    Author : Armand Tamboly; [2021-01-15]
    Keywords : Covid-19; Photography;

On the other side I’m also willing to bring attention to our our cosuming lifestyle and it’s impact on the climate. READ MORE

  6. 15. Surface crevasses on Svalbard: Spatial Distribution Analysis with Focus on the Lomonosovfonna Ice Cap

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Monika Hawrylak; [2021]
    Keywords : crevasses; spatial distribution; model; glacier velocity; Lomonosovfonna; Svalbard;

    Abstract : Understanding the formation mechanics of glacial crevasses is crucial in a variety of glacial applications. Besides being a serious safety hazard during field campaigns, crevasses influence calving rates, mass balance, and the hydrological network of glaciers. READ MORE
