On temperature inversions in Finnish Lapland in Climatological extremes in the mountains, Physical background, geomorphological and ecological consequences.
Examples of the depth, sharpness and duration of ground inversions in Finnish Lapland. The data include long-term measurements at fixed points in valleys along slopes and on tops of fells as well as temporary line measurements made from a moving car.
Deposits from lanslides and avalanches triggered by seismic activity in Swedish Lapland
Cold area ; Fault ; Glacial features ; Landslide ; Lapland ; Mountain ; Patterned ground ; Seismicity ; Sweden
In the mountain area of Swedish Lapland, landforms with semicircular or horse-shoe ridges encircling hummocky ground occur. They are interpreted as landslide or avalanche deposits directly upon, from or adjacent to down-wasting ice. Since

in Swedish Lapland. In general, dolomite was the most useful material for monitoring mass loss, with limestone weathering tending to be too rapid and granite weathering being too slow.

and environmental parameters. Four localities from different vegetation zones in Finnish Lapland were surveyed using precision levelling, during three measurements campaigns in 1993, 1994 and 2004.
Regeneration of trees in the treeline ecotone : northern Finnish Lapland

The objective of this research was to find out if forest will invade the treeless areas in the present treeline ecotone in northern Finnish Lapland and which factors might impede forest advance. The study areas were selected to look for differences
A 10-year record of the weathering rates of surficial pebbles in Kärkevagge, Swedish Lapland

in Kärkevagge, a glaciated through in Swedish Lapland. In general, wetter, more acidic sites promoted greater losses from the dolomite, but the losses from the granite were too small to reveal distinctive spatial patterns.

Mass transfers, sediment budgets and relief development in cold environments: Results of long-term geomorphologic drainage basin studies in Iceland, Swedish Lapland and Finnish Lapland

Iceland, Swedish Lapland and Finnish Lapland. The major controls of these detected differences are (i) climate, (ii) lithology, (iii) relief and (iv) vegetation cover. The applied drainage basin-based approach seems to be effective for analysing

artic-alpine valley in Swedish Lapland. Each vegetation category contained 3 replicate sites comprising one bag of each rock type. In 1995, the study was extended to Dryas heath and willow surfaces. Percentage annual weight loss was used as a metric
