Continuous and episodic sedimentation in western Norwegian fjord lakes. A Holocene climatic perspective
Vasskog, Kristian (Doctoral thesis, 2011-10-21)A Holocene chronology of hazardous events has been constructed in parallel with a new record of glacier variability from inner Nordfjord in western Norway, based on the analysis of seismic profiles and sediment cores from ... -
Holocene glacier variability and Neoglacial hydroclimate at Ålfotbreen, western Norway
Gjerde, Marthe; Bakke, Jostein; Vasskog, Kristian; Nesje, Atle; Hormes, Anne (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 multi-proxy environmental reconstruction from lake Hakluytvatnet, Amsterdamøya Island, Svalbard (79.5°N)
Gjerde, Marthe; Bakke, Jostein; D'Andrea, William J.; Balascio, Nicholas L.; Bradley, Raymond S.; Vasskog, Kristian; Ólafsdóttir, Sædis; Torgeir Opeland, Røthe; Perren, Bianka B.; Hormes, Anne (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 ... -
Northward shifts in the polar front preceded Bølling and Holocene warming in southwestern Scandinavia
Cowling, Owen C.; Thomas, Elizabeth K.; Svendsen, John-Inge; Mangerud, Jan; Vasskog, Kristian; Haflidason, Haflidi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The last deglaciation in northern Europe provides an opportunity to study the hydrologic component of abrupt climate shifts in a region with complex interactions between ice sheets and oceanic and atmospheric circulation. ... -
Reconstruction of glacier variability from lake sediments reveals dynamic Holocene climate in Svalbard
Bilt, Willem van der; Bakke, Jostein; Vasskog, Kristian; D`Andrea, William; Bradley, Raymond S.; Ólafsdóttir, Sædis (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 ...
