  2. 1. Paleoglaciology of the Tian Shan and Altai Mountains, Central Asia

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  4. 2. Comparison of dating methods for paleoglacial reconstruction in Central Asia

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  5. 3. Glacial geology of Bayan Har Shan, northeastern Tibetan Plateau

    Author : Jakob Heyman; Arjen P Stroeven; Clas Hättestrand; Helena Alexanderson; Mark D Johnson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical geography; Naturgeografi; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Abstract : The paleoglaciology of the Tibetan Plateau is still largely unexplored, despite its importance for regional and global climate reconstructions. In this thesis a comprehensive glacial geological record is presented from an extensive part of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau centred on the Bayan Har Shan. READ MORE

  6. 4. Palaeoglaciology of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling ice surface elevation changes in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica : Bridging the gap between in-situ and numerical model reconstructions

    Author : Martim Mas e Braga; Arjen P. Stroeven; Irina Rogozhina; Jonathan M. Harbor; Clas Hättestrand; Frank Pattyn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ice sheet modelling; glaciology; paleoglaciology; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : Ice sheets are an active component of Earth's climate system. Their topography influences atmospheric circulation and changes in their volume alters freshwater fluxes to the oceans, affecting ocean water masses, atmospheric carbon uptake, and global sea level. READ MORE
