Deglaciation of the highest mountains in Scandinavia at the Younger Dryas–Holocene transition: evidence from surface exposure‐age dating of ice‐marginal moraines [PDF]
Boreas, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 139-163, April 2024., 2023 This study reports surface‐exposure ages (using in situ 10Be and Schmidt‐hammer R‐values) from ice‐marginal moraines near the two highest mountains in Scandinavia located in the Jotunheimen mountains of central southern Norway. It is concluded that the local glaciers remained active and advanced during deglaciation either very late in the Younger Dryas

Near‐surface temperatures and potential for frost weathering in blockfields in Norway and Svalbard
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 48, Issue 5, Page 940-955, April 2023., 2023 Our study focuses on frost‐cracking activity in blockfields in Scandinavia and Svalbard, using measured near‐surface temperatures to model first the subsurface thermal regime and then frost‐cracking intensities. The simulated frost‐cracking intensities provide insights into the processes governing weathering in blockfields and deliver constraints on ...

Lateglacial Shifts in Seasonality Reconcile Conflicting North Atlantic Temperature Signals
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 128, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract The accelerating flux of glacial meltwater to the oceans due to global warming is a potential trigger for future climate disturbance. Past disruption of Atlantic Ocean circulation, driven by melting of land‐based ice, is linked in models to reduced ocean‐atmosphere heat transfer and abrupt cooling during stadial events. The most recent stadial,

Boreas, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 699-758, October 2022., 2022 The BRITICE‐CHRONO consortium of researchers undertook a dating programme to constrain the timing of advance, maximum extent and retreat of the British–Irish Ice Sheet between 31 000 and 15 000 years before present. The dating campaign across Ireland and Britain and their continental shelves, and across the North Sea included 1500 days of field ...
