  1. 1. Loess as an Environmental Proxy for Reconstruction of Palaeoclimate in the High Arctic

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Sara Rognås; [2023]
    Nyckelord :aeolian transport; loess; grain size analysis; loss on ignition; palaeoclimate; Svalbard; Holocene; vindtransporterat material; lössjord; kornstorlek; loss on ignition; paleoklimat; Svalbard; Holocen;

    Sammanfattning : We are currently speeding towards significant changes in the climate of the earth which, if ignored, will lead to severely altered climatic conditions with serious consequences for several species and ecosystems. The polar regions especially are very sensitive to climate changes, and the changes these regions undergo affect the climate on a global scale. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Grain Size Analysis of Late Pleistocene Loess Deposits, Jersey

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Joakim Edlund; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Jersey; loess; grain size; ice age; past climate; Jersey; löss; kornstorlek; istid; forntida klimat;

    Sammanfattning : As the world faces the effects of rapid climate change it is essential that we understand how the Earth’s climate has evolved in recent geological history. The island of Jersey harbours loess deposits which hold clues to recent climate change which have not been extensively studied. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Reconstruction of paleoclimate and loess provenance during the last glacial in Jersey using XRF analysis

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Matilda Persson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :loess; origin; La Motte; XRF; Quaternary; weathering; climate; lössjord; ursprung; La Motte; XRF; kvartär; vittring; klimat;

    Sammanfattning : With our changing climate it becomes more vital to understand the processes that control climate change in order to better understand possible future shifts. By doing this, predictions can be made about future climates and better prepare us for them. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Grain-Size Analysis of Loess Deposits of the Last Glacial Period, NW France

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Författare :Linnéa Rodin Borne; [2021]
    Nyckelord :loess; grain-size; glacial; Weichselian; Primel-Trégastel;

    Sammanfattning : Loess is an unique record of the paleoclimate of the Quaternary. Because it is directly deposited from the atmosphere, it can be used as a proxy for wind speed and circulation patterns. It can also be directly dated using luminescence. LÄS MER

  7. 5. En resa tillbaka i tiden för att förstå framtiden : En undersökning av organiskt material i eoliska lössjordssediment på västra Grönland, Kangerlussuaq.

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Caroline Morin; Jessica Sundman; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Greenland; organic carbon; loss of ignition; loess; paleoclimate; Grönland; organiskt material; loss of ignition; lössjordar; paleoklimat;

    Sammanfattning : Today's changing climate on Earth makes climate research more important than ever. By providing an understanding of the Earth's history and in particular places where large-scale climate change is taking place, for example Greenland, can one get an understanding about how the Earth will react in the future.
