2. 1. Glacial history of Northeast Greenland: cosmogenic nuclide constraints on chronology and ice dynamics

   Author : Lena Håkanson; Kvartärgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Jameson Land; Store Koldewey; Scoresby Sund; Ice dynamics; Glacial history; Cosmogenic; Greenland Ice Sheet;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to use cosmogenic exposure dating to investigating whether highly weathered landscapes in the Northeast Greenland fjord zone have developed during prolonged ice free conditions or have been preserved beneath cold-based ice. Previous work along the Northeast Greenland coast has presented two conflicting hypotheses for the extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet during the last glacial maximum (LGM). 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. Late Quaternary ice sheet history and dynamics in central and southern Scandinavia

   Author : Timothy Johnsen; Helena Alexanderson; James T. Teller; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Scandinavian ice sheet; ice sheet dynamics; luminescence dating; cosmogenic exposure dating; geochronology; moraine; interstadial; deglaciation; nunatak; Quaternary geology; Kvartärgeologi; kvartärgeologi; Quarternary Geology;

   Abstract : Recent work suggests an emerging new paradigm for the Scandinavian ice sheet (SIS); one of a dynamically fluctuating ice sheet. This doctoral research project explicitly examines the history and dynamics of the SIS at four sites within Sweden and Norway, and provides results covering different time periods of glacial history.

6. 4. Paleoglaciology of Shaluli Shan, southeastern Tibetan Plateau

   Author : Ping Fu; Arjen Stroeven; Lewis Owen; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Paleoglaciology; Tibetan Plateau; geomorphological mapping; cosmogenic nuclide; Last Glacial Maximum; glacial erosion; basal thermal regime; paleoglaciologi; Tibetanska platån; geomorfologisk kartering; kosmogena isotoper; senaste glaciala maximat; glacial erosion; subglacial temperatur; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : Reconstructing the paleoglaciation of the Tibetan Plateau is critical to understanding linkages between regional climate changes and global climate changes. This work focuses on the paleoglaciology of the Shaluli Shan Mountain area in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. READ MORE

7. 5. 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
