    Abstract : Popular Abstract in Swedish Under den geologiska period som kallas kvartärtiden (de senaste 2,6 miljoner åren) har flera istider (glacialer) och mellanistider (interglacialer) avlöst varandra enligt ett mönster där glacialerna varar i ungefär 100000 år och mellanistiderna i ca 10000 år. Under istiderna täcktes stora landområden på norra halvklotet, bl. READ MORE

  5. 3. Geology of Lagoa das Furnas, a crater lake on São Miguel, Azores archipelago

    Abstract : Popular Abstract in Swedish Under kvartärtiden (den geologiska period som omfattar de senaste ca 2,6 miljoner åren) har klimatet på Jorden varierat dramatiskt. Långa perioder (ca 100 000 år) av istid med stora inlandsisar som täckte Skandinavien, Ryssland, Sibirien, Grönland och Nordamerika har periodiskt avbrutits av kortare perioder (ca 10 000 år) av varmare klimat, så kallade interglacialer.

  7. 5. Towards a Holocene tephrochronology for the Azores

    University dissertation from Stockholm : Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University

    Author : Hans Johansson; Stockholms universitet.; [2015]
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quaternary Geology; kvartärgeologi;

    Abstract : The Azores is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean and is one of the most active volcanicregions in the Northern Hemisphere. The volcanic history of the islands is fairly wellknown and several explosive trachytic eruptions have been reported but the geochemicalcompositions of the glass component of the tephra as well as the dispersal oftephras to distal areas are less well known.
