Climatic variation ; Cold area ; Glacial features ; Greenland ; Hydrology ; Model ; Sediment transport ; Valley
Detailed investigations of sediment transport have been carried out in a proglacial valley at the Mitdluagkat Glacier in East Greenland. The results from 1989, 1990 and 1991 have been compared with earlier measurements of sediment transport
Pollen analyses and measurements of magnetic parameters in some lakes and ponds in sub-arctic South Greenland have shown, that after stable conditions through most of the Holocene drastic environmental changes appeared as a result
Measuring calving in Icefall Lake, SE Greenland, using a Diver pressure transducer with a built-in datalogger
Cold area ; Field experiment ; Glacier ; Greenland ; Lake ; Research technique
In South East Greenland, the north-western part of the Mittivakkat Glacier calves into a lake, called Icefall Lake, situated at its terminus. The aim of this study is to test the applicability of the logger in this environment, and to develop
Cosmogenic Be 10-ages from the Store Koldewey island, NE Greenland
Dating ; Geochronology ; Glaciation ; Greenland ; Ice sheet ; Isotope dating ; Palaeogeography ; Quaternary
This study approaches the glacial history of northeast Greenland by using cosmogenic exposure dating. New Be 10-ages from the Store Koldewey island suggest that unscoured mountain plateaus at the outer coast were covered at least partly by cold
-based ice during the LGM. It is, however, still inconclusive whether this ice was dynamically connected to the Greenland Ice Sheet or not.
Coastal environments around Thule settlements in Northeast Greenland
Archaeology ; Coastal environment ; Coastal erosion ; Greenland ; Human occupation ; Inuit ; North East Greenland ; Palaeo-environment ; Polynia ; Prehistory ; Seasonal variability
The study site in Northeast Greenland is located between 75°-73°30N. It lies in the high arctic climate zone with continuous permafrost. The AA. focuse on the relation between the various types of coastal environments and the location of Thule Inuit
environments towards the settlement requirements is discussed and preferred locations for settlements are shown. The Thule culture abandoned Northeast Greenland about 1850 AD, and apart from settlements on basalt capes, most of the winter settlement sites
Medium scale landforms of glacial erosion in South Greenland| process and form
The aim of this paper is to discuss the formation of medium scale glacial erosional forms in South Greenland of the order of hundreds of metres in size and to understand the controls of local ice movement directions, rock structure and subglacial
Soil formation as an indication of relative age of glacial deposits in Eastern Greenland
A chrono-sequence of soils has been studied in a proglacial valley extending from the Midtlu gkat Glacier on the island Angmagssalik O in Eastern Greenland. The relative age of soils and a probable sequence of especially translocation processes
