2500 years of anthropogenic and climatic landscape transformation in the Stymphalia polje, Greece
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Lacustrine sediments generally record landscape development in the lake's catchment area controlled by palaeoclimatic and human induced changes. To improve our understanding on the anthropogenic and climatic influences on ... -
Early Holocene thinning and final demise of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet across the main drainage divide of southern Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The thinning and final decay of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in the Gudbrandsdalen area in central southern Norway is described, based on (1) cosmogenic 10Be surface exposure dating of 25 glacially transported boulders, (2) ... -
Ecological globalisation, serial depletion and the medieval trade of walrus rostra
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The impacts of early ecological globalisation may have had profound economic and environmental consequences for human settlements and animal populations. Here, we review the extent of such historical impacts by investigating ... -
Iceberg ploughmarks illuminated by shallow gas in the central North Sea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Conventional 3D seismic data provides direct evidence for glacial influence during the early Pleistocenesedimentation in the Central North Sea. We identify iceberg ploughmarks as dim linear to curve-linearfeatures in three ... -
Lake sediment multi-taxon DNA from North Greenland records early post-glacial appearance of vascular plants and accurately tracks environmental changes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)High Arctic environments are particularly sensitive to climate changes, but retrieval of paleoecological data is challenging due to low productivity and biomass. At the same time, Arctic soils and sediments have proven ... -
Lateglacial retreat chronology of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in Finnmark, northern Norway, reconstructed from surface exposure dating of major end moraines
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We report results from a comprehensive surface exposure dating campaign in eastern Finnmark, located in the northernmost part of Norway and close to the Norwegian-Russian border. This is a palaeoglaciologically important ... -
Permafrost as a first order control on long-term rock-slope deformation in (Sub-)Arctic Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Assessing initiation of rock-slope deformation and paleo-slip rates of rockslides is important to understand the impact of climate variability - in particular permafrost changes - on rockslide activity. Norway, with 6–6.5% ... -
Prehistoric and historic exploitation of marine mammals in the Black Sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The recent exploitation of marine species is relatively well documented and understood in terms of impacts on species abundance, distribution, and resource use. In contrast, ancient exploitation of marine mammals remains ...
