  1. 16. Speleothems from Warm Climates : Holocene Records from the Caribbean and Mediterranean Regions

    Författare :Meighan Boyd; Karin Holmgren; Ian J. Fairchild; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stable isotopes; U-Th dating; trace elements; stalagmite; speleothem; Mid-Holocene; Caribbean; ITCZ; rapid climate change; climate; Eastern Mediterranean; Peloponnese; Santorini; Neolithic; Alepotrypa Cave; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis contributes to increased knowledge on Holocene climate and environmental variability from two complex and sparsely studied areas. Using a speleothem from Gasparee Cave, Trinidad, as a paleoclimate archive, the local expression of the 8. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Reconstruction of the Southeast Asian hydro-climate using biomarkers and their hydrogen isotopic composition

    Författare :Yamoah Kweku Kyei Afrifa; Rienk Smittenberg; Barbara Wohlfarth; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; geokemi; Geochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Southeast Asia is characterized by a monsoonal climate, with distinct wet and dry seasons. This has great impact on societies, agriculture and infrastructures. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Provenance of the pre-Quaternary aeolian dust deposits of East Asia

    Författare :Katja Bohm; Thomas Stevens; Anu Kaakinen; Alex Pullen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chinese Loess Plateau; Red Clay; mineral dust; sediment provenance; detrital zircon; detrital rutile; Neogene; Paleogene; Earth Science with specialization in Physical Geography; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : Atmospheric mineral dust is a key component in the climate system, but its effect on and response to climate changes are poorly understood, especially over long timescales. This thesis investigates the sources of late Paleogene and Neogene dust deposits that formed under warmer-than-present global climates in the northern Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP) region in mid-latitude East Asia.

  5. 19. Paleoglaciology of the Tian Shan and Altai Mountains, Central Asia

    Författare :Robin Blomdin; Arjen P. Stroeven; Clas Hättestrand; Jonathan M. Harbor; Lewis Owen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Paleoglaciology; glacial geomorphological mapping; cosmogenic nuclide dating; Tian Shan; Altai Mountains; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : The mountain-systems of Central Asia, act as barriers to atmospheric circulation patterns, which in turn impose striking climate gradients across the region. Glaciers are sensitive indicators of climate change and respond to changes in climate gradients over time by advancing during cold and wet periods and receding during warm and dry periods. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Comparison of dating methods for paleoglacial reconstruction in Central Asia

    Författare :Natacha Gribenski; Krister N. Jansson; Arjen P. Stroeven; Frank Preusser; Jonathan M. Harbor; Marc Bateman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Paleoglaciation; Optically stimulated luminescence dating; Cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating; EMCCD camera; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : Reconstruction of former Central Asian glaciers extents can provide valuable information about past atmospheric circulation variations. These extents, often marked by terminal moraines, need to be chronologically constrained. Cosmogenic nuclide exposure (CNE) dating is widely used to directly date moraines. LÄS MER
