Helgi Björnsson, ‘The Glaciers of Iceland
Helgi Björnsson, The Glaciers of Iceland: A Historical, Cultural and Scientific Overview. Atlantis Advances in Quaternary Science 2. 2017. Translated into English by Julian Meldon D’Arcy, University of Iceland. No location: Atlantis Press, 637 pp. ISBN 978-94-6239-206-9. E-book: ISBN 978-94-6239-207-6
The Little Ice Age
First coined in the 1930s, with reference to glaciation in North America, the concept of the “Little Ice Age” has undergone continuous revisions. It has traveled academically from glaciology to climatology, archeology, history, and, most recently, climate communication. Over time, it has grown into one of the most discussed topics in the field of climate history and attracts both considerable scholarly interest and public attention. The term “Lit…
Climate, peace, and conflict—past and present
Concern has risen that current global warming and more frequent extreme events such as droughts and floods will increase conflict around the world. This concern has spurred both social science research on contemporary climate, peace, and conflict as well as research in the historical sciences on past climate, weather, warfare, and violence. This perspectives article compares these two fields of scholarship and examines how each may benefit the ot…
Risky Futures
Of course, the answer rests with us humans, this strange species that managed to bring our planet to the brink of self-destruction.The good news is that an increasing number of people on earth are beginning to understand that we cannot afford to lose large parts of the cryosphere.While there was a time when people without winter sport ambitions and with homelands outside the cryosphere could shrug off the melting of snow and ice as if it wouldn't…
Risky Futures
The volume examines complex intersections of environmental conditions, geopolitical tensions and local innovative reactions characterising 'the Arctic' in the early twenty-first century. What happens in the region (such as permafrost thaw or methane release) not only sweeps rapidly through local ecosystems but also has profound global implications. Bringing together a unique combination of authors who are local practitioners, indigenous scholars …
The Inuit of Labrador/Nunatsiavut, the Moravian Brethren, and Connections with French-Speaking Switzerland
In this paper, contacts between the Moravian Brethren of French-speaking Switzerland, the Moravian missionaries, and the Inuit Christian converts in Labrador are described. The role of the missionary journals, the annual collection of gifts for the missions, and, more specifically, the role of Jean-Louis Micheli, philanthropist and member of Eglise évangélique de Genève are considered. It will be shown that interactions between these varied eleme…
A robust, multisite Holocene history of drift ice off northern Iceland
An important indicator of Holocene climate change is provided by evidence for variations in the extent of drift ice. A proxy for drift ice in Iceland waters is provided by the presence of quartz. Quantitative x-ray diffraction analysis of the < 2 mm sediment fraction was undertaken on 16 cores from around Iceland. The quartz weight (wt.)% estimates from each core were integrated into 250-yr intervals between −0.05 and 11.7 cal. ka BP. Median quar…
Seals and Sea Ice in Medieval Greenland
Multidisciplinary approaches are used to examine possible changes in North Atlantic sea-ice cover, in the context of seal hunting, during the period of the Norse occupation of Greenland (ca. 985–1500). Information from Iceland is also used in order to amplify and illuminate the situation in Greenland. Data are drawn mainly from zooarchaeological analyses, but written records of climate and sea-ice variations, as well as paleoclimatic data sets ar…
Sea Ice, Climate, and Icelandic Fisheries in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
The expansion and subsequent decline in catches in many fisheries of the world during the 20th century suggest that the history of fisheries needs our urgent attention. Analysis of environmental effects on fisheries in the past (when overfishing was not an issue) may cast light on current concerns about declining fish stocks. Primary documentary evidence from Iceland was used for preliminary investigations into correlations between sea-ice extent…
Interdisciplinary investigations of the end of the Norse Western Settlement in Greenland
The loss of the Norse Western Settlement in Greenland around the mid-fourteenth century has long been taken as a prime example of the impact of changing climate on human populations. This study employs an interdisciplinary approach combining historical documents, detailed archaeological investigations, and a high-resolution proxy climate record from the Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 (GISP2) to investigate possible causes for the end of this settl…
Bioarchaeological and climatological evidence for the fate of Norse farmers in medieval Greenland
Greenland, far north land of the Atlantic, has often been beyond the limit of European farming settlement. One of its Norse settlements, colonized just before AD 1000, is - astonishingly - not even at the southern tip, but a way up the west coast, the 'Western Settlement'. Environmental studies show why its occupation came to an end within five centuries, leaving Greenland once more a place of Arctic-adapted hunters
