Quaternary climate and glaciation history,15 ECTS credits Cancelled VT 2021 What is the explanation for repeated glaciations during the past few million years and how many glaciations have there actually been? How much and how fast has Earth’s climate varied, what are the mechanisms behind major climate changes and how do we know? How has the landscape, vegetation and human life been affected by t

Magmatic petrology, Geochemistry and Geochronology,15 ECTS credits Planet Earth was formed 4,560 Ma and its differentiation into crust, mantle and core occurred shortly thereafter. Continuous magmatism in various plate tectonic settings, in combination with processes related to melting and magma differentiation, has led to the wide spectra of igneous rock distinctive of Earth’s crust. We learn to

Evolution of the Biosphere, Palaeoecology and Palaeontology, 15 ECTS credits The fossil record reveals that life has changed dramatically since it originated, and that evolution is intimately associated with changes in physical conditions on our planet. Not only have the various groups of organisms evolved but also the biosphere, as a whole, has changed conspicuously since its origin over 3.500 mi

Metamorphic Petrology and Structural Geology, 15 ECTS credits Metamorphic processes have reshaped the crust since the formation of planet Earth. Metamorphism, involving essentially reactions in the solid state, takes place where rocks are subjected to temperature and pressure conditions different from those where they originally formed. New minerals form by chemical reactions, often in the presenc

Sedimentary Geology and Basin Analysis, 15 ECTS credits Sedimentary basins are erosional remnants comprising hundreds to thousands of meters thick strata and preserved in regionally widespread, natural or fault-controlled depressions in the crystalline bedrock. They are represented from all tectonic environments and contain Earth's deposits of coal, oil and gas. They are therefore of great economi

Master´s Degree Project in Geology, 45 ECTS credits If you are planning to do a Master's degree project you need to approach one or several of our teachers whose research is in line with your interests within the field of geology. You should do this well in advance of the start of your project for discussions about possible tasks. Alternatively, you can approach an external partner, for example to

Luminescence dating is a geochronological technique that spans the Late Quaternary, and can be used in both geological and archaeological applications. It uses the natural emission of light from mineral grains (namely quartz and feldspar) to inform us about the age of events ranging from the deposition of beach sediments in storm events, change in climatic conditions, and the making of pottery and

Aeolian deposits in Sweden and Norway: an unexplored environmental archive Swedish aeolian deposits contain a record of environmental change that is largely unused. By investigating deposits such as inland dunes and determining their age, a better understanding of aeolian systems in formerly glaciated areas can be gained, causes for sand drift in the past can be determined and the qualitative and

Welcome to the finest laboratory in the world for processing microfossils! Through decades of continuous refinement and development, primarily by Professor Emeritus Lennart Jeppsson, we are now able to process very large samples (up to more than 100 kg each) and get very concentrated sample residues that will significantly decrease picking time. We use buffered and diluted (c. 10%) acetic acid tha

How does dendrochronological age determination work Trees growing in regions with seasonal climate variations usually develop visual rings consisting early wood and late wood during every growth season. Simply expressed, thick rings are formed during years with warm and humid summers while thinner rings reflect the opposite conditions, although a number of other factors may also influence tree gro
All sampled submitted to the laboratory are registered, followed by preparation of optimal surfaces for analysis across several growth radii of the tree. Subsequently, tree-ring series are measured and registered using specially designed measuring devices (Lintab and Aniol) connected to computers, screens and printers.

Cut out a disc of the wood where you think you can get the maximum number of growth rings and where there are no obvious disturbances by branches or other irregularities. If the log has suffered damage it may be useful to take several samples in order to cover more growth rings or the transition to bark. The disc should be at least 1-5 cm thick or thick enough not to break apart. Package the sampl
