  1. 1. Grain Size Analysis of Late Pleistocene Loess Deposits, Jersey

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Joakim Edlund; [2022]
    Keywords : Jersey; loess; grain size; ice age; past climate; Jersey; löss; kornstorlek; istid; forntida klimat;

    Abstract : As the world faces the effects of rapid climate change it is essential that we understand how the Earth’s climate has evolved in recent geological history. The island of Jersey harbours loess deposits which hold clues to recent climate change which have not been extensively studied. READ MORE

  3. 2. Reconstructing Past Climate by Grain Size and Magnetic Susceptibility Analysis of Belgium Loess From the Late Quaternary

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Susanna Åberg; [2022]
    Keywords : aeolian dust; Romont; Europe; true loess line; past climate reconstruction; vindtransporterat stoft; Romont; Europa; true loess line; rekonstruktion av tidigare klimat;

    Abstract : Aeolian dust that gets deposited builds up loess sequences that cover 10% of the Earth's continents. Such sequences can be several metres thick with material deposited over thousands of years, and therefore act like archives of past climates. READ MORE

  4. 3. Hudsjukdomar hos svenska getter : en pilotstudie

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Matilda Kreutz; [2022]
    Keywords : getter; hudsjukdomar; Sverige; Chorioptes; Staphylococcus aureus; PCR; enkätundersökning;

    Abstract : Hudsjukdomar är ett vanligt förekommande problem hos getter i till exempel Storbritannien och då framför allt ektoparasiter. I Sverige vet vi inte så mycket om läget när det gäller hudsjukdomar hos getter. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. 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.
