1. 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.

2. Combining luminescence dating and sedimentary analysis to derive the landscape dynamics of the Velická Valley in the High Tatra Mountains, Slovakia
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenSammanfattning : Luminescence dating is widely used in combination with sedimentological analysis to reconstruct the landscape development of the Quaternary period. Here, quartz and K-feldspar measurements are used to date and evaluate the luminescence characteristics of sediments from seven sites of the lower part of the Velická valley (995-1250 m a.s.l.

3. 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
4. Processes of lateral moraine formation at a debris-covered glacier, Suldenferner (Vedretta di Solda), Italy
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionenSammanfattning : Lateral moraines are key features of glacial landscapes in high-alpine mountain areas. Research on lateral moraine formation is mostly limited to clean-ice glaciers; lateral moraine formation at the margins of debris-covered glaciers is currently poorly understood in an Alpine and sedimentological context.

5. Different generation of controlled moraines in the glacier foreland of Midtdalsbreen, Norway
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografiSammanfattning : A series of small mounds (< 3m) were sampled in the foreland of Midtdalsbreen outlet glacier, southern Norway. These landforms were interesting, especially at site number 1 because they were located very close to a higher Little Ice Age (LIA) moraine (> 5 m), thereby informing the dynamic of the glacier after the LIA at this location.
