1. Reconstructing Past Climate by Using XRF and Loss of Ignition on Loess from Adventdalen, Svalbard : Rekonstruktion av tidigare klimat genom attanvända XRF analys och antändningsförlust på lössavlagringar från Adventdalen, Svalbard
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : By analyzing the texture, composition and chemical composition of loess soils, the reconstruction ofpast climate regimes is enabled, which can improve our understanding of current and future climatechange. Properties such as grain size and composition, mineralogy, organic matter and chemicalcomposition can provide information about which environmental factors were present during thedeposition of the sediment, which can lead to a detailed picture of the climate history of a site.

2. Marine Geology and Holocene Paleoceanographyof the Southern Quark, Baltic Sea
University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaperAbstract : The Understen-Märket trench is located in the Southern Quark and is the only deep-water connection between the Baltic Propper and the Gulf of Bothnia. Bathymetric mapping reveals a number of eroded channels and drift deposits exists on the seafloor, indicating that the area is heavily affected by current activity. READ MORE

3. 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 geovetenskaperAbstract : 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. Odensjön - A new varved lake sediment record from southern Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : Annually laminated (varved) sediments provide opportunities to reconstruct climate change and human impact on the environment with high temporal resolution. Depending on the character of the varves, such sediments can provide insight into the delivery of both autochthonous and allochthonous material from the lake and its catch- ment and answer questions regarding both regional and local responses to climate- and land-use changes.

5. Development of a Neutron Activation Analysis station at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionenAbstract : This report outlines the first stages of the development of the Neutron Activation Analysis station at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis Facility in the Division of Nuclear Physics, Lund University. The motivation for this project is to use the Neutron Activation Analysis detection technique for environmental monitoring around the European Spallation Source, soon to come into operation. READ MORE
