1. Stratigraphy and palaeoenvironment of the early Jurassic volcaniclastic strata at Djupadalsmölla, central Skåne, Sweden
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : From the almost 200 volcanic outcrops in the Central Skåne Volcanic Province (CSVP), only three are of volcaniclastic material. These volcanoclastics, and the transition to the underlying crystalline basement, have been investigated for the first time in a drill core (KBH2) from Djupadalsmölla in order to understand the stra-tigraphy, depositional process, age of deposition, and depositional environment.

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 geovetenskaperAbstract : 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

3. Reconstruction of paleoclimate and loess provenance during the last glacial in Jersey using XRF analysis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : 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. Oolites from the Arabian platform: Archives for the aftermath of the end-Triassic mass extinction
University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenAbstract : The end-Triassic mass extinction (ETME) which occurred around 201 Ma is known as one of “the big five” mass extinction events of the Phanerozoic eon. Its effects were most severe on marine ecosystems, resulting in a global decline of invertebrate taxa and the complete extinction of the conodonts. READ MORE

5. Reconstructing Weathering and Climate Trends on Loess Deposits in NW France Using XRF Analysis
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Analyzing climate changes by loess sediment deposits formed after the last glacial maximum gives us information about how the environment was dynamically before humans physically could record climate changes. Sampling and analyzing loess from different places in the world give us a more reliable view of when events and changes in climate took place. READ MORE
