  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Reconstructing Weathering and Climate Trends on Loess Deposits in NW France Using XRF Analysis

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hanna Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : geochemistry; loess; XRF; weathering; climate change; N-W France;

    Abstract : 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

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Assessment of Drone-Borne Multispectral Mapping in the Exploration of Magmatic Ni-Cu Sulphides – an Example from Disko Island, West Greenland

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ethan Barnes; [2020]
    Keywords : mineral exploration; UAV; multispectral sensors; Illukunnguaq dyke; Greenland;

    Abstract : The senseFly eBeePlus fixed-wing drone is a market available UAV compatible with a range of sensors that includes the Parrot Sequoia+ multispectral camera. Commercial applications of the drone predominantly focus on agriculture, environmental management, and engineering applications. 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
