1. Late Quaternary Climate Reconstruction Using Rock - Magnetism in Loess on Portelet, Jersey
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Loess is a very fine aeolian sediment that can be used as a proxy for stadial and interstadial glacialperiods. To understand how Earth’s climate have changed and what effects that change have had on theplanet and life on it we can use climate archives. READ MORE

2. Rock-magnetic and Soil Organic Carbon Proxies of Climate Change from Loess – Aeolian Sediments of Brittany, France
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The aeolian sediment loess, which consists of mineral dust, is one of the most detailed terrestrial record of both global and regional climate changes. As climate changes in the past cover a much wider range of climate variability than humans have directly recorded, the soil memory of loess is vital for understanding the Earth’s climate system.

3. Reconstructing Weathering and Climate Trends on Loess Deposits in NW France Using XRF Analysis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : 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

4. A sedimentological and stratigraphical study of Veiki moraine in northernmost Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Veiki moraine is a landform area consisting of rim-ridged subcircular hummocks and plateaus with depressions in between, mostly located within a N-S extending zone of a hummocky landscape. It is believed to have formed during the pre-late Weichselian and survived overriding by ice during the subsequent glaciations. READ MORE

5. A sedimentological and stratigraphical study of Weichselian sediments in the Tvärkroken gravel pit, Idre, west-central Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : A detailed sedimentological study was made on six section walls in the Tvärkroken gravel pit, Idre, west-central Sweden. Based on sediment characteristics, three sedimentary units, units 1-3, were identified. The lowest unit, unit 1, was formed by deposition from sediment-loaded underflows into a stagnant basin.
