(Elsevier BV, 2020-07-15)Agriculture has been practiced in Iceland since settlement (landnám; AD 877). This has caused changes in vegetation communities, soil erosion, desertification and loss of carbon stocks. Little data exist regarding vegetation and ecosystems in the ... -
(Frontiers Media SA, 2020-06-05)The Negev Desert in southern Israel hosts a number of late Cenozoic lacustrine and palustrine sedimentary sequences that attest for past wetter conditions in what today constitutes one of the driest deserts on Earth. These sequences are of special ...

(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019-09-10)Pressurised meltwater has a major impact on ice dynamics, as well as on sedimentary and deformational processes occurring below/in front of glaciers and ice sheets, but its role in glaciotectonic processes is yet to be fully understood. This study ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2023-06-15)Focussing upon the monastic sites of Þingeyraklaustur and Helgafellsklaustur, palynological data are utilised to explore the role of Icelandic monasticism with regard to vegetation change and land use in the Medieval period. Consideration is also given ...

(Oregon State University, 1991)In this thesis anomalous downcore shallowing of paleomagnetic inclinations is interpreted to be caused by sediment compaction. Thus, compaction-induced inclination shallowing may influence tectonic reconstructions that are based on inclinations from ...

(University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Earth Sciences, 2019-11)Large and complete sections through glacial landforms formed in subaqueous environments are rare, impeding our knowledge of their internal composition and the processes responsible for their formation. Following the last deglaciation of the Icelandic ...

(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01)Sediment cores from Kløverbladvatna, a threshold lake in Wahlenbergfjorden, Nordaustlandet, Svalbard were used to reconstruct Holocene glacier fluctuations. Meltwater from Etonbreen spills over a threshold to the lake, only when the glacier is significantly ...
