Cave Palaeolithic of the Ural Mountains – a review

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Ural Mountains are of fundamental importance for studying early human migrations along the geographical limits between Europe and Asia. Geological processes and past climates gave rise to numerous caves, mostly in Palaeozoic carbonate formations.

Luminescence analysis of a postglacial landscape in northeastern Norway and northern Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Portable optically stimulated luminescence (pOSL) analysis allows rapid relative dating of sediments that potentially can be calibrated against known OSL ages to provide an age estimate for landforms across a large area. This study uses 186 pOSL measurements and 20 OSL ages to investigate the postglacial landscape evolution inside the Younger Dryas ...

Drastic peatland regime shift and landscape disturbances connected to warm and cold climate events over the past centuries in subarctic Finland

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Palaeoecological studies reporting long‐term development histories of subarctic fens—explicitly, orohemiarctic peatlands—are scarce, and overall, permafrost‐free peatlands located in the immediate vicinity of permafrost zones have received little attention in Fennoscandia. Here, we use a multiproxy approach to study the millennial‐scale dynamics of two

Food web reconstruction of Barmaky, the oldest post‐LGM hunter‐gatherer site in north‐western Ukraine

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The site of Barmaky currently marks the oldest Epigravettian occupation of north‐western Ukraine shortly after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), dated to around 19 cal. ka BP. Stable isotope analyses of bone collagen from six terrestrial mammals and two bird species show a comparatively highly structured palaeo‐food web.

Persistence and dynamic of forest snails in the Western Carpathians over the last 40 thousand years

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The glacial/interglacial cycles have shaped the landscape of temperate Europe for the past 2.5 million years, with open landscapes prevailing during the glacial and forested landscapes during the interglacial periods. However, the survival and recolonization strategies of temperate forest species during glacial phases remain poorly understood and hotly

Neoglacial and historical glacier changes around Kangersuneq fjord in southern West Greenland [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2012
The Nuup Kangerlua region in southern West Greenland became eglaciated in the early Holocene and by the mid-Holocene, the margin of the Inland Ice was located east of its present position.

Influence of snowpack internal structure on snow metamorphism and melting intensity on Hansbreen, Svalbard

open access: yesPolish Polar Research, 2016
This paper presents a detailed study of melting processes conducted on Hansbreen – a tidewater glacier terminating in the Hornsund fjord, Spitsbergen. The fieldwork was carried out from April to July 2010.
