1. 16. Palaeoglaciology of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau

   Författare :Jakob Heyman; Arjen P Stroeven; Clas Hättestrand; Helena Alexanderson; Frank Lehmkuhl; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tibetan Plateau; palaeoglaciology; Physical geography; Naturgeografi; Quaternary geology; Kvartärgeologi; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : This study concerns the palaeoglaciation of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, with emphasis on the Bayan Har Shan (Shan = Mountain) in the headwaters of Huang He (Yellow River). To reconstruct past glacier development multiple techniques, including remote sensing, field investigations, cosmogenic exposure dating, and numerical modelling have been employed. LÄS MER

3. 17. Tephra horizons in the North Atlantic region during the Early Holocene

   Författare :Ewa Lind; Stefan Wastegård; Margareta Hansson; Britta Sannel; Victoria Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tephrochronology; geochemical composition; Saksunarvatn Ash; Vedde Ash; Fosen Tephra; Askja-S; palaeoclimate; Younger Dryas; Early Holocene; “XRF ITRAX”; sediment geochemistry; stable isotopes; Faroe Islands; Norway; Sweden; kvartärgeologi; Quaternary Geology;

   Sammanfattning : Uncertainties about the rate and magnitude of future climate change have drawn attention to the climate variability following the Late Glacial-Early Holocene transition, c. 12-8 ka BP. LÄS MER

4. 18. High Arctic submarine glaciogenic landscapes : their formation and significance

   Författare :Francis Fletcher Freire; Richard Gyllencreutz; Martin Jakobsson; Haflidi Haflidason; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; High Arctic; GrIS; marine geophysics; glaciogenic landscapes; ice streams; submarine slides; Marine Geology; maringeologi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on studies of glacial and slope morphology in the high Arctic of western Greenland shelf and the Molloy Hole seafloor spreading area, based on high-resolution acoustic methods and other geophysical data. The main purpose is to improve our understanding of glacial dynamics and associated processes in the marginal region of a large marine-terminating ice sheet. LÄS MER

5. 19. The drumlin problem : streamlined subglacial bedforms in southern Sweden

   Författare :Tom Dowling; Kvartärgeologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; glacial flow; drumlin; self organising maps; LiDAR;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates stream-lined subglacial bedforms (often referred to as drumlins) in southern Sweden. The broad aim of this is to contribute to the solution of the ‘drumlin problem’. The term drumlin has come to be applied to a wide range of features whose internal architecture (core) and overall morphology are seen to vary greatly. LÄS MER

7. 20. A multimethod approach to dating Quaternary sediments from the Arctic Ocean

   Författare :Gabriel West; Matthew O'Regan; Darrell Kaufman; Helena Alexanderson; Guillaume St-Onge; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arctic Ocean; Amino Acid Geochronology; Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dating; Palaeomagnetism; maringeologi; Marine Geology;

   Sammanfattning : The marine sedimentary environment in the polar regions is different from the rest of the world’s oceans, as it is greatly influenced by the cryosphere. In the Arctic, sea ice and icebergs can transport vast amounts of sediments, delivered by extensive fluvial systems from the surrounding continents, which have been shaped by the waxing and waning of large terrestrial ice sheets during the Quaternary period.
