1. Modelling regional climate-vegetation interactions in Europe : A palaeo perspective
Sammanfattning : Studies in paleoclimate are important because they give us knowledge about how the climate system works and puts the current climate change in necessary perspective. By studying (pre)historic periods we increase our knowledge not just about these periods, but also about the processes that are important for climatic variations and changes. LÄS MER
2. High-resolution simulations of two cold palaeo climates in Europe : MIS 3 and LGM
Sammanfattning : The study of past climate is important because it increases our understanding of how the climate system works. Past climate is often reconstructed by using proxies (that is observations of things that tell something about past climate, for example tree rings, pollen in lake sediments and fossils). LÄS MER
3. Asian monsoon over mainland Southeast Asia in the past 25 000 years
Sammanfattning : The objective of this research is to interpret high-resolution palaeo-proxy data sets to understand the Asian summer monsoon variability in the past. This was done by synthesizing published palaeo-records from the Asian monsoon region, model simulation comparisons, and analysing new lake sedimentary records from northeast Thailand. LÄS MER
4. Studies on Tropical Palaeo-variation in Climate and Cosmic Ray Influx : Geochemical data from stalagmites collected in Tanzania and northern South Africa
Sammanfattning : The main aims of this project were to contribute to the knowledge about tropical climate variations, and to investigate the possibilities of obtaining cosmic ray influx data from stalagmites.Stalagmites from Tanzania and northern South Africa were palaeoclimatologically analysed.

5. The development and implementation of software for palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatological research : the Bugs Coleopteran Ecology Package (BugsCEP)
Sammanfattning : This thesis documents the development and application of a unique database orientated software package, BugsCEP, for environmental and climatic reconstruction from fossil beetle (Coleoptera) assemblages. The software tools are described, and the incorporated statistical methods discussed and evaluated with respect to both published modern and fossil data, as well as the author’s own investigations.
