  1. 1. A palaeoenvironmental study of a peat sequence from Iles Kerguelen (49°S, Indian Ocean) for the Last Deglaciation based on pollen analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Victor Henao; [2015]
    Keywords : Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In recent years, the Southern Hemisphere (SH) and the vast Southern Ocean (SO) have gained awareness and importance within the scientific community in relation to global climate change and the global CO2 cycle, par-ticularly since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and into the Holocene. It is believed that the Southern Hemi-sphere Westerlies (SHW) play a key role in regulating climate change in the mid-to-high latitudes of the SH, thus reconstructing the SHW latitudinal positioning since the LGM has been crucial.

  3. 2. Litostratigrafiska studier av en platåformad sand- och grusavlagring i Skuremåla, Blekinge

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Fredrik Stenfeldt; [2006]
    Keywords : Skuremåla; litostratigrafi; deglaciation; randfält; strandförskjutning; Baltiska Issjön; Blekinge; lithostratigraphy; subaqueous fan; shoreline displacement; Baltic Ice Lake; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : I Skuremåla, Blekinge har litostratigrafiska studier utförts av en platåformad grus- och sandavlagring. Skuremåla-avlagringen har tidigare beskrivits som ett delta med en överyta på 55 m ö h. Syftet med arbetet är att tolka vad för sorts ”delta” Skuremåla-avlagringen utgör samt depositionsmiljön för sedimenten i fråga. READ MORE

  4. 3. A comparative study between loss on ignition and total carbon analysis on Late Glacial sediments from Atteköps mosse, southwestern Sweden, and their tentative correlation with the GRIP event stratigraphy

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Daniel-Stefan Veres; [2001]
    Keywords : Atteköps mosse; limnic sediments; Late Glacial; loss on ignition; total carbon; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Popular abstract: In this study, several sediment core from Atteköps mosse, southwestern Sweden, were investigated with respect to lithostratigraphy, loss on ignition analysis, grain size distribution, magnetic susceptibility, total carbon analysis and 14C dating. The first part of the study foccuses on a detailed analysis of the above mentioned sediment parameters. READ MORE

  5. 4. Sedimentological and lithostratigraphical investigations in the gravel pit "Hinterste Mühle" at Neubrandenburg, northeastern Germany

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Joachim Albrecht; [1993]
    Keywords : Germany; Neubrandenburg; geography; geology; sedimentology; lithostratigraphy; Hinterste Mühle; gravel pit; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The investigated gravel-pit lies in the hinterland of the Pomeranian end-moraine zone. The structures in the sediment are strongly influenced during the glacier's recession. Especia11y the margins of the pit show strong deformation. Until now the sediments have been interpreted as subglacial tunnel deposits. READ MORE
