Future state of Norwegian glaciers: Estimating glacier mass balance and equilibrium line responses to projected 21st century climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Glaciers and ice caps in Norway are presently undergoing mass loss, areal reduction, and frontal retreat, mainly a result of increased summer ablation due to rising summer temperatures over Scandinavia, especially after ... -
Glacier and ocean variability in Ata Sund, west Greenland, since 1400 CE
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)To improve knowledge of marine-terminating glaciers in western Greenland, marine sediment cores from the Ata Sund fjord system, hosting two outlet glaciers, Eqip Sermia and Kangilerngata Sermia, were investigated. The main ... -
Interpreting archaeological site-formation processes at a mountain ice patch: A case study from Langfonne, Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In the context of global warming, ice patches are increasingly important foci of high-elevation archaeology. Langfonne in Jotunheimen, central southern Norway, is uniquely suited to provide a window onto site formation ... -
A late-Holocene multi-proxy record from the northern Norwegian margin: Temperature and salinity variability
(Journal article, 2016)To elucidate the natural variability of Atlantic and Coastal water, a late-Holocene multi-proxy analysis is performed on a marine sediment core from the northern Norwegian margin. This includes planktic foraminiferal fauna ... -
The 'Little Ice Age' – only temperature?
(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 ... -
The ‘Little Ice Age’ advance of Nigardsbreen, Norway: A cross-disciplinary revision of the chronological framework
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)This study presents a cross-disciplinary revision of the Little Ice Age (LIA) advance of Nigardsbreen glacier, an outlet from Jostedalsbreen ice cap in western Norway. The associated glacier foreland is characterised by a ... -
Ötzi, 30 years on: A reappraisal of the depositional and post-depositional history of the find
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)When Ötzi, the Iceman, was found in a gully in the Tisenjoch pass in the Tyrolean Alps in 1991, he was a huge surprise for the archaeological community. The lead initial investigator of the find argued that it was unique, ... -
A theoretical approach to glacier equilibrium-line altitudes using meteorological data and glacier massbalance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-05-01)Based on a close exponential relationship between mean ablation-season temperature and winter precipitation at the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) of 10 Norwegian glaciers, three equations are derived. The first equation ... -
Theoretical equilibrium-line altitudes and glacier buildup sensitivity in southern Norway based on meteorological data in a geographical information system
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2003-05-01)Three equations derived from a close exponential glacier-climate relationship at the equilibrium-line altitude (ELA) of Norwegian glaciers have been utilized and implemented in a geographical information system (GIS). The ...
