Anthropogenic and environmental drivers of vegetation change in southeastern Norway during the Holocene
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Uncovering anthropogenic and environmental drivers behind past biological change requires integrated analyses of long-term records from a diversity of disciplines. We applied an interdisciplinary approach exploring effects ... -
Environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard: sediment chronology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Sediment cores collected from eight lakes along the western coast of Svalbard as part of a project investigating atmospheric pollution and environmental change in Arctic regions were dated radiometrically using natural ... -
High resolution Late-glacial and early-Holocene summer air temperature records from Scotland inferred from Chironomid assemblages
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-05-18)Lateglacial and early-Holocene mean July air temperatures have been reconstructed, using a chironomid-based inference model, from lake-sediment sequences from Abernethy Forest, in the eastern Highlands of Scotland, and ... -
Holocene climatic change reconstructed from diatoms, chironomids, pollen and near-infrared spectroscopy at an alpine lake (Sjuodjijaure) in northern Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)The results of a multiproxy study reconstructing the climate history of the last 9300 years in northern Sweden are presented. It is based on diatom, chironomid and pollen analyses, as well as near-infrared spec troscopy ... -
Holocene glacier variability and Neoglacial hydroclimate at Ålfotbreen, western Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-02)Glaciers and small ice caps respond rapidly to climate perturbations (mainly winter precipitation, and summer temperature), and the mass-balance of glaciers located in western Norway is governed mainly by winter precipitation ... -
Holocene mean July temperature and winter precipitation in western Norway inferred from palynological and glaciological lake-sediment proxies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2005)Reconstructions of mean July temperature (Tjul) and winter precipitation (Pw) for the last 11/500 years on the Folgefonna peninsula are presented. Tjul was reconstructed using pollen-climate transfer functions and Pw was ... -
Holocene multi-proxy environmental reconstruction from lake Hakluytvatnet, Amsterdamøya Island, Svalbard (79.5°N)
(Journal article, 2018-03)High resolution proxy records of past climate are sparse in the Arctic due to low organic production that restricts the use of radiocarbon dating and challenging logistics that make data collection difficult. Here, we ... -
Holocene palaeoclimate reconstructions at Vanndalsvatnet, western Norway, with particular reference to the 8200 cal. yr BP event
(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 ... -
Lake stratigraphy implies an 80 000 yr delayed melting of buried dead ice in northern Russia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003)Sediment cores from lakes Kormovoye and Oshkoty in the glaciated region of the Pechora Lowland, northern Russia, reveal sediment gravity flow deposits overlain by lacustrine mud and gyttja. The sediments were deposited ... -
Palaeolimnological and sedimentary responses to Holocene forest retreat in the Scandes Mountains, west-central Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)A suite of analyses was performed on sediments accumulated during the last 10 700 years in Lake Spaime, a small, hydrologically open water body in the modem alpine tundra zone of the Scandes Mountains, west-central Sweden. ... -
Radiometrically determined dates and sedimentation rates for recent sediments in nine North African wetland lakes (the CASSARINA Project)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2001)Sediment cores were collected from nine wetland lakes in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt for the CASSARINA project investigating environmental change in Northern African wetlands. The cores were dated radiometrically by using ... -
Reconstruction of glacier variability from lake sediments reveals dynamic Holocene climate in Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-12)The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth. Holocene proxy time-series are increasingly used to put this amplified response in perspective by understanding Arctic climate processes beyond the instrumental ...
