  1. 1. Central Asian ice-marginal moraines of the global last glacial maximum : An analysis of topographic features affecting the glaciation pattern in the Tian Shan and Altai mountains

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Sonja Sandström; [2018]
    Keywords : Altaimountains; GeographicInformation System; Tian Shan mountains; water resources; marginal moraine; MIS 2; paleoglaciology;

    Abstract : Glacial runoff from the Tian Shan and Altai Mountains is an important water resource, especially for people living in the arid areas of Central Asia. Measured water volumes from glaciers have decreased, and glacier area have shrunk with 50-90% since the Little Ice Age. READ MORE

  3. 2. Paleoglaciological study of the Ahlmannryggen, Borgmassivet and Kirwanveggen nunatak ranges, Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica, using WorldView imagery

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Elena Serra; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Paleoglaciological reconstructions based on glacial geological and geomorphological evidence areused to constrain and test numerical models of ice sheet extent and dynamics. The MAGIC-DMLresearch project (“Mapping, Measuring and Modelling Antarctic Geomorphology and Ice Change, inDronning Maud Land”) is trying to reconstruct the timing and pattern of ice surface elevation changessince the mid-Pliocene across western Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica.

  5. 4. Numerical simulations of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) : Implementing a new module to the ice code ARCTIC-TARAH

    University essay from Institutionen för informationsteknologi

    Author : Asako Fujisaki; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Paleoglaciology is an area of research where numerical reconstruction is actively used to understand the process of ice sheet growth and decay throughout past glacial periods, and numerical simulation of ice dynamics is a tool to reproduce the behaviors of the ice sheet and shelf under given conditions. ARCTIC-TARAH, designed by the Bolin Centre for Climate Research for simulating ice sheet dynamics, is developed based on the Pennsylvania State University Ice sheet model (PSUI). READ MORE
