Age, origin and palaeoclimatic implications of peri- and paraglacial boulder-dominated landforms in Rondane, South Norway
Marr, Philipp; Winkler, Stefan; Dahl, Svein Olaf; Löffler, Jörg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Boulder-dominated landforms of periglacial, paraglacial and related origin constitute a valuable, but often unexplored source of palaeoclimatic and morphodynamic information. The timing of landform development initiation ... -
Automated classification of debris-covered glaciers combining optical, SAR and topographic data in an object-based environment
Robson, Benjamin Aubrey; Nuth, Christopher; Dahl, Svein Olaf; Hölbling, Daniel; Strozzi, Tazio; Nielsen, Pål Ringkjøb (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-12)Satellite imagery is increasingly used to monitor glacier area changes and create glacier inventories.

Dahl, Svein Olaf; Nielsen, Pål Ringkjøb (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Identified for the first time in Norway, windblown yellowish-brown dust in Folldal, east-central southern Norway, fulfils physical and geochemical criteria for sensu stricto loess, including a high carbonate content. Two ... -
Evidence of glacier-permafrost interactions associated with hydro-geomorphological processes and landforms at Snøhetta, Dovrefjell, Norway
Miesen, Floreana; Dahl, Svein Olaf; Schrott, Lothar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Glacier-permafrost interactions are investigated to understand glacial-hydrological influence along a partly glacierised valley on the NE flank of the Snøhetta massif, Dovrefjell, southern Norway. Of particular interest ... -
Holocene debris flows recognized in a lacustrine sedimentary succession: sedimentology, chronostratigraphy and cause of triggering
Sletten, K.; Blikra, Lars Harald; Ballantyne, C. K.; Nesje, Atle; Dahl, Svein Olaf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)This study focuses on the sedimentary characteristics and the chronostratigraphy of Holocene massflow deposits recognized in a lake-fill sedimentary succession. These deposits in lake Ulvådalsvatnet, western Norway, are ... -
Holocene palaeoclimate reconstructions at Vanndalsvatnet, western Norway, with particular reference to the 8200 cal. yr BP event
Nesje, Atle; Bjune, Anne Elisabeth; Bakke, Jostein; Dahl, Svein Olaf; Lie, Øyvind; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2006)Analyses of organic content, magnetic susceptibility, grain size and pollen in sediments from the proglacial lake Vanndalsvatnet in western Norway provide a high-resolution terrestrial record and pollenbased quantitative ... -
Intensified Late-Holocene aeolian activity in Vesterålen, northern Norway – increased storminess or human impact?
Nielsen, Pål Ringkjøb; Dahl, Svein Olaf; Prestegård, Ingvild Skodvin; Vasskog, Kristian; Robson, Benjamin Aubrey (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This study reconstructs Mid- to Late-Holocene aeolian activity based on lacustrine sediments from a small pond, Nøkktjønna, situated ~1.5 km northeast from the coast, and stratigraphical investigations of coastal dunes at ... -
Late Holocene surface ocean conditions of the Norwegian Sea (Vøring Plateau)
Andersson, Carin; Risebrobakken, Bjørg; Jansen, Eystein; Dahl, Svein Olaf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-06-04)Late Holocene sea surface ocean conditions of the eastern Norwegian Sea (Vøring Plateau) are inferred from planktic stable isotopes and planktic foraminiferal assemblage changes in cores JM97-948/2A and MD95-2011 (66.97°N, ... -
The 'Little Ice Age' – only temperature?
Nesje, Atle; Dahl, Svein Olaf (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)Understanding the climate of the last few centuries, including the 'Little Ice Age', may help us better understand modern-day natural climate variability and make climate predictions. The conventional view of the climate ... -
