  1. 1. On the Late Saalian glaciation : A climate modeling study

    Författare :Florence Colleoni; Martin Jakobsson; Johan Nilsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate modeling; Eurasian ice sheet; Quaternary; Saalian; surface mass balance; SST; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap; Marine Geoscience; marin geovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on the glaciation of the Late Saalian period (160 -140 ka) over Eurasia. The Quaternary Environment of the Eurasian North (QUEEN) project determined that during this period, the Eurasian ice sheet was substantially larger than during the entire Weichselian cycle and especially that of the Last Glacial Maximum (21 ka, LGM).

  3. 2. Source and age of late Quaternary loess deposits in Europe

    Författare :Yunus Baykal; Thomas Stevens; Christian Zdanowicz; Bryan C. Lougheed; Phillip L. Gibbard; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : Atmospheric mineral dust is a fundamental component of the Earth’s climate system, with dust both responding to and driving climate change. This close link between dust and climate is recorded in archives of past dust activity, which show that abrupt 101-3 yr shifts in temperature during the last glacial period were accompanied with fluctuations in dust activity.

  4. 3. Investigating the impacts of Late Pleistocene climate change on Arctic mammals using palaeogenomics

    Författare :Edana Lord; Love Dalén; Mirte Bosse; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; palaeogenomics; Arctic; Late Pleistocene; past climate; collared lemming; woolly rhinoceros; Norwegian lemming; muskox; demography; population structure; speciation; adaptation; genome erosion; Systematic Zoology; zoologisk systematik och evolutionsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : The climatic fluctuations of the Late Pleistocene likely had a large impact on the evolutionary history of Arctic species. Palaeogenomics is a useful tool to shed light on how past populations responded to these climatic shifts and the associated ice sheet dynamics and sea level change. LÄS MER
