1. 1. Late Quaternary Climate Reconstruction Using Rock - Magnetism in Loess on Portelet, Jersey

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Elias Hero; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : 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

3. 2. 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. 3. Reconstruction of paleoclimate and loess provenance during the last glacial in Jersey using XRF analysis

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Matilda Persson; [2022]
   Keywords : loess; origin; La Motte; XRF; Quaternary; weathering; climate; lössjord; ursprung; La Motte; XRF; kvartär; vittring; klimat;

   Abstract : With our changing climate it becomes more vital to understand the processes that control climate change in order to better understand possible future shifts. By doing this, predictions can be made about future climates and better prepare us for them. READ MORE

5. 4. Rock-magnetic and Soil Organic Carbon Proxies of Climate Change from Loess – Aeolian Sediments of Brittany, France

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Carolina Kouns; Yael Margulis; [2021]
   Keywords : loess; LOI; magnetic susceptibility; Brittany; Quaternary; löss; LOI; magnetisk susceptibilitet; Bretagne; kvartär;

   Abstract : 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.

6. 5. Identifying Quaternary Climate Change with XRF Analysis on Loess From South-Western England

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Pelle Kronborg; [2020]
   Keywords : loess; XRF; weathering index; England; Lowland Point; Porth Cressa; Quaternary; löss; XRF; vittrings index; kvartär; England; Lowland Point; Porth Cressa;

   Abstract : Huge changes in climate occurred at the end of the last Quaternary glaciation. The end of this glaciation corresponds with the end of Pleistocene with its repeated glacial cycles and the start of the current geological epoch, the Holocene interglacial. READ MORE
