1. Extreme solar particle storms and links to solar activity inferred from cosmogenic radionuclides in ice cores
Sammanfattning : During solar storms, large amounts of solar energetic particles (SEP) are accelerated into the interplanetary medium and sometimes hit Earth. These events, known as SEP events, can have harmful impacts on our modern society by affecting spacecrafts and potentially astronauts in space. LÄS MER
2. Cosmogenic radionuclides in environmental archives – A paleo-perspective on space climate and a synchronizing tool for climate records
Sammanfattning : The Sun is the primary source for Earth’s climate system. Its fluctuations in irradiance are also known to have an impact on climate. In addition, changes in solar activity modulate the atmospheric production rates of cosmogenic radionuclides (e.g. LÄS MER
3. Disentangling production and climate signals from high-resolution Beryllium records: implications for solar and geomagnetic reconstructions
Sammanfattning : The sun is the most important energy source for the Earth’s climate system, however, influences of solar variations on climate are not fully understood. Studying past solar activity can improve our understanding of what role the sun plays in Earth’s climate. LÄS MER
4. Solar Activity Changes at the End of the Last Ice Age - Influences on Climate and Applications for Dating
Sammanfattning : Throughout its history Earth experienced a variety of natural climate changes. By investigating their spatial and temporal evolution we can increase the understanding of the mechanisms and dynamics underlying natural climate change and improve our general comprehension of the climate system.

5. Assessing Holocene and late Pleistocene geomagnetic dipole field variability
Sammanfattning : Palaeomagnetic studies of continuous geological archives and archaeological artefacts are required to reconstruct geomagnetic field changes beyond the range of historical observations. In this thesis I assess the reliability of sedimentary palaeomagnetic data and Holocene dipole field reconstructions. LÄS MER
