1. Glacial lakes in the Torneträsk region, northern Sweden, are key to understanding regional deglaciation patterns and dynamics
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiSammanfattning : The prospect of sea level rise due to melting ice sheets affirms the urgency of gaining knowledge on ice sheet dynamics during deglaciation. The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet serves as an analogue, whose retreat can be reconstructed from the geomorphological record. LÄS MER
2. A re-investigation of hummocky moraine formed from ice sheet decay using geomorphological and sedimentological evidence in the Vomb area, southern Sweden
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenSammanfattning : Glacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with dead ice meltout and passive deglaciation.

4. Determination of depositional environment and luminescence dating of Pleistocene deposits in the Biely Váh valley, southern foothills of the Tatra Mountains, Slovakia
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenSammanfattning : The Tatra Mountains have had several glaciations during the Quaternary. The deposits located in the southern foothills were classified as glacifluvial, based on geomorphology, but its sediments have not been studied in detail. LÄS MER
5. Implications of a rapidly thinning ice-margin for annual moraine formation at Gornergletscher, Switzerland
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenSammanfattning : This study examines genetic processes and climatological significance of annual moraine formation in the foreland of Gornergletscher, a large alpine-valley glacier located in the southern Swiss Alps. A particular focus is set on moraine ridges that have been forming between 2007 and 2019, a period when the glacier has been subject to accelerated retreat and pronounced frontal thinning. LÄS MER
