  2. 1. Constraining the Southern Part of the Greenland Ice Sheet since the Last Glacial Maximum from Relative Sea-Level Changes, Cosmogenic Dates and Glacial-Isostatic Adjustment Models

    Author : Charlotte Sparrenbom; Kvartärgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; physical oceanography; geokemi; Sedimentology; Sedimentologi; Geophysics; meteorology; mineralogi; geochemistry; mineralogy; Petrology; Geologi; fysisk geografi; physical geography; Geology; neo-glacial; in-situ cosmigenic nuclide; XRF-scanning; glacial-isostatic adjustment models; glacial history; sea-level changes; Greenland; isolation basins; fysisk oceanografi; Petrologi; meteorologi; Geofysik;

    Abstract : New results are presented from the investigation of relative sea-level changes in the Nanortalik and Qaqortoq-Narsarsuaq areas in SW Greenland from c. 11 000 cal. years BP to the present. READ MORE

  4. 2. Exploring beneath the surface of glacial landscapes : Implementing and improving geophysical investigations in glaciated environments

    Author : Hannah Watts; Peter Jansson; Benedict Reinardy; Darrel Swift; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; Glacial Geology; Glaciers; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Abstract : The warming climate is having profound impacts on glacier dynamics and extents. To improve our predictions of future ice mass changes, we require an enhanced understanding of both past and present glacial processes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Glacial dynamics and till genesis in hilly terrain : A study in the Tallträsk area, central-northern Sweden

    Author : Hans Ivarsson; Mats Jansson; Per Möller; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; till analyses; glacial stratigraphy; subglacial deposition; deglaciation; hilly terrain; northern Sweden; Physical geography; Naturgeografi;

    Abstract : This study deals with the influence of topography on glacial dynamics and the genesis of till in an area of moder-ate bedrock relief. An area 25 km west of Lycksele, northern Sweden, was investigated using geomorphological and sedimentological methods. READ MORE

  6. 4. Sedimentology and Geomorphology of Glacial Landforms in Southern Sweden : Studying the Landscape of a Melting Ice Sheet

    Author : Gustaf Peterson Becher; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glacial geology; Geomorphology; Sedimentology; Glaciology; Tunnel-valley; Glaciofluvial meltwater corridor; Murtoo; Småland;

    Abstract : Ice sheets are disintegrating due to global warming. One factor controlling ice-sheet behavior is the processes active beneath the ice sheet. In particular, processes connected to glacial meltwater drainage are essential to understand ice-sheets behavior in a warming climate. READ MORE

  7. 5. Seismic investigations and physical property studies of natural resources in Finland and Sweden : Efficient exploration of groundwater and mineral resources

    Author : Georgiana Maries; Alireza Malehmir; Christopher Juhlin; Musa Manzi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Seismic reflection; seismic refraction; esker; glacial sediments; iron-oxide; hardrock; efficient exploration; physical property; forward modeling; seismic quality factor; Finland; Sweden; Bergslagen;

    Abstract : Natural resources, such as mineral deposits and groundwater in particular, are crucial for our society, as the world prepares itself for a smooth transition towards green technologies and decarbonization. Apart from extraction and use, innovative mineral exploration solutions are needed to complete the full value chain and to achieve the sustainable development goals. READ MORE
