1. Paleoenvironmental significance of Baltic and North Atlantic late neogene benthic foraminifera
Sammanfattning : This thesis is a summary of six previously published or submitted articles on (1) the significance of the geographic distribution of Recent benthic foraminifera in the Baltic Sea and the central North Atlantic, and (2) the significance of the stratigraphic distribution of Pliocene benthic foraminifera from the Blake Plateau, western North Atlantic.Recent benthic foraminifera in the Baltic Sea have a geographic distribution strongly correlated to the highly variable hydrographical conditions.

3. Fossil birds: Contributions to the understanding of avian evolution
Sammanfattning : The study of the evolution of birds began about 150 years ago with the finding of Archaeopteryx. Yet, many unsolved questions about avian evolution remain to be answered. This thesis aims at addressing some of these questions.The Early Cretaceous Confusiusornis is the most well-represented Mesozoic bird in the fossil record. LÄS MER
4. Towards a Holocene tephrochronology for the Azores
Sammanfattning : The Azores is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean and is one of the most active volcanicregions in the Northern Hemisphere. The volcanic history of the islands is fairly wellknown and several explosive trachytic eruptions have been reported but the geochemicalcompositions of the glass component of the tephra as well as the dispersal oftephras to distal areas are less well known.
