1. Cold-climate landforms on Mars and Earth-analogues in Svalbard
Sammanfattning : Periglacial landforms on Earth reflect cold-climate conditions and are intimately related to processes due to the presence of ground ice and perennially frozen ground, permafrost. The overall objective of this thesis is to investigate the potential of Svalbard as an analogue to Mars cold-climate landforms, and explore past and present processes and surface conditions on Mars by inference from morphological counterparts in Svalbard.

2. The role of tectonics, structures and etch processes for the present relief in glaciated Precambrian besement rocks of SW Sweden
Sammanfattning : In high latitudes, landscapes of low relief are known to contain residues of pre-glacial deep weathering, or etching, which testify to limited modification of the pre-glacial relief by the Pleistocene ice sheets. In this thesis landforms in all scales are classified according to their process of formation. LÄS MER
3. Glacial erosion zonation : perspectives on topography, landforms, processes and time
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Sedimentology and Geomorphology of Glacial Landforms in Southern Sweden : Studying the Landscape of a Melting Ice Sheet
Sammanfattning : Ice sheets are disintegrating due to global warming. One factor controlling ice-sheet behavior is the processes active beneath the ice sheet. In particular, processes connected to glacial meltwater drainage are essential to understand ice-sheets behavior in a warming climate. LÄS MER
5. Ice Sheet, Climate, and Landscape Interactions in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Sammanfattning : The impact of glaciers and ice sheets on the subglacial landscape are of fundamental importance for studies of glacial history and landscape development, both in previously glaciated areas and in areas that are glaciated today. The thesis concerns the present and past erosive capacity of the ice sheet in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. LÄS MER
