(2020-07-08)Fjärranalys har sedan slutet av 1800-talet och fram tills idag genomgått en uppseendeväckande teknikutveckling. Idag framträder så även en ytterligare teknik inom fjärranalys som benämns för drönare. Drönare har, förutom ... -
Streamlined landform distribution in south-west Sweden
(2020-07-08)Streamlined landforms are forming underneath today’s glaciers. Since the Earth is undergoing a deglaciation it is important to understand how the glaciers move over the landscape to be able to predict future changes. In ... -
2D plain strain, pure shear deformation experiments in ice – Preparation of strain gauges teaching material for undergraduate students
(2020-07-08)In this report I explore the viability of using an ice thin section with carbon dioxide inclusions as a material for students to practice the Fry- and Rf/Φ strain analysis methods. The use of this material allows the ... -
Spår längs Hökensås av Tidanissjöns utveckling och existens
(2020-07-08)During deglaciation, ice-dammed lakes formed in front of the retreating ice margin. Between Billingen and Hökensås, and south of the middle Swedish end-moraine-zone, a depression exists. In this area an ice-dammed lake ... -
A general description of cryoconite and its expected characteristics and origin at the glacier Nigardsbreen, Norway - A research proposal
(2020-07-08)Dark dust accumulates on the surfaces of glaciers ablation zones where it aggregates and forms cryoconite. Inorganic content, often silicate minerals, and organic matter, including wind-blown pollen and plant fragments ... -
Magmatic fractionation of trace elements in biotite with emphasis on indium in the Salmi batholith, Russian Karelia
(2020-07-08)Biotite is one of the most common ferromagnesian phases in granitic systems and has a crystal lattice allowing for a range of cation substitutions. The mineral can record whole rock chemistry, mirror processes in the ... -
