Geomorphic features as indicators of climatic fluctuations in a periglacial environment, northern Sweden / Rolf Nyberg, Lars Lindh.
Title: | Geomorphic features as indicators of climatic fluctuations in a periglacial environment, northern Sweden / Rolf Nyberg, Lars Lindh. |
Author(s): | Nyberg, Rolf. Lindh, Lars. |
Date: | 1990. |
In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (1990.), Vol. 72A(2) (1990) |
Abstract: | In Abisko mountains. Debris flows and slush flows were possibly frequent during Little Ice Age, according to lichenometric dating. Field observations suggest fairly high frequency also during last few decades. Boulder pavements, moraine-like ridges and glacial striae in front of major snow fields indicate that previously that these were larger and in some cases active as small glaciers, perhaps in beginning of 1900s. During warmer 1920s-30s snow patches and glaciers, as well as permafrost mounds, were affected by general degeneration. It is suggested that features are beginning to respond to cooling trend affecting northern Scandinavia since about 1940. Impact of greenhouse warming has not yet been noticeable in this area. |
