  1. 1. Centennial Climate Variability

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Thomas Askjær; [2022]
    Keywords : Climate variability; paleoclimate; climatemodelsimulations; proxyrecords; spectralanalysis; model proxycomparison;

    Abstract : Throughout earths history, the climate have always naturally varied due to both external forcings and internal mechanisms. With the outlook on future climate change, it is important to understand the climate system and this includes its natural variability. Depending on the driving mechanisms, the variability happens over different timescales. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Grain-Size Analysis of Loess Deposits of the Last Glacial Period, NW France

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Linnéa Rodin Borne; [2021]
    Keywords : loess; grain-size; glacial; Weichselian; Primel-Trégastel;

    Abstract : Loess is an unique record of the paleoclimate of the Quaternary. Because it is directly deposited from the atmosphere, it can be used as a proxy for wind speed and circulation patterns. It can also be directly dated using luminescence. READ MORE

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. Arctic Loess as an Environmental Archive : Identifying Weathering with XRF Analysis in West Greenland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Isabelle Karnik; [2019]
    Keywords : loess; XRF; weathering index; Holocene climate; Greenland;

    Abstract : Loess from west Greenland was studied to evaluate Holocene paleoclimate in the Arctic region. Deposits of loess are formed over long time scales through deposition of fine aeolian sediment and they exist in several places in the world. READ MORE
