  2. 1. Palaeoenvironment in North-Western Romania during the last 15 000 years

    Author : Angelica Feurdean; Barbara Wohlfarth; Ann-Marie Robertsson; Leif Björkman; Iustinian Petrescu; Katherine J Willis; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : Northwest Romania; Gutaiului Mountains; pollenstratigraphy; macrofossil remains; Lateglacial; Holocene; tree refugia; tree dynamics; past climate; human influence;

    Abstract : The objectives of this thesis are to establish a chronological framework for environmental changes during the last 15,000 years in northwest Romania, to reconstruct the vegetation development, and to evaluate the underlying processes for forest dynamics. Furthermore, an overview of earlier and ongoing pollenstratigraphic work in Romania is provided. READ MORE

  4. 2. Event stratigraphy for the Last Glacial-Holocene transition in eastern middle Sweden

    Author : Jonas Björck; Michael J.C Walker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Last Glacial-Holocene transition; event stratigraphy; eastern middle Sweden; pollen; plant macrofossils; marine calcareous fossils; microtephra; radiocarbon dating; clay varve chronology; GRIP; ice-core chronology; calendar year chronology; Preboreal oscillation; Yoldia Sea; Baltic Ice Lake; Quaternary Geology; kvartärgeologi;

    Abstract : This thesis outlines an event stratigraphy for the Last Glacial-Holocene transition in eastern middle Sweden. Events are short-lived occurrences that have left traces in the geological record and which, therefore, may be used for correlation and inter-regional comparisons. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Littorina transgression in southeastern Sweden and its relation to mid-Holocene climate variability

    Author : Shiyong Yu; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marklära; kartografi; Fysisk geografi; geomorfologi; climatology; cartography; pedology; geomorphology; Physical geography; tidal action; solar forcing; global meltwater pulse; North Atlantic storminess; climate changes; shoreline displacements; sea-level fluctuations; Littorina transgression; Baltic Sea; klimatologi;

    Abstract : Lateglacial and Holocene shoreline displacement along the Baltic coast resulted from both the isostatic land uplift and the ice-volume-equivalent sea-level rise. Relative changes of these two components led to alternating contact/isolation of the Baltic Basin with the North Sea during the Holocene. READ MORE
