1. Assessing evolution of ice caps in Suðurland, Iceland, in years 1986 - 2014, using multispectral satellite imagery
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : The study focuses on the application of multispectral satellite imageries in glaciological studies. It aims to assess how the Icelandic glaciers have evolved over the last decades (from the 1980s to 2014). The study area covers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull ice caps located in Suðurland, Iceland. LÄS MER
2. Glacial history of the upper Drac Blanc catchment (French Alps)
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. LÄS MER
3. The mass balance and equilibrium line altitude trends of glaciers in northern Sweden
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Glaciers are of extreme importance since they hold climatic data going back 2,000 years. Glaciers can provide important services such as ecosystem services, habitats, water runoff, and hydro-energy. They also affect the Earth’s processes and many feedback mechanisms. LÄS MER
4. Regional and Local Factors Influencing the Mass Balance of the Scandinavian Glaciers.
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : According to climatic models there will be an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases which results in a warming of the earth where the change will be most prominent in the high latitudes. Glaciers mass balance is a good climate change indicator as the response is fast when climate is changing. LÄS MER
5. Beräkning av en glaciärs massbalans : en metodanalys med fjärranalys och jämviktslinjehöjd över Storglaciären
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Glaciers integrate variations in climate over several different time scales and are thus used as indicators of both present and past climate change. It is however of importance to be able to correctly measure changes in the glaciers mass over time (the glaciers mass-balance), if one wishes to use the glaciers as climate indicators. LÄS MER
