A multi-scale resolution of snow-avalanche activity based on geomorphological investigations at Fnjóskadalur, northern Iceland
The article describes investigations that highlight snow-avalanche events that have not been reported in historical records. While historical sources are most often the basis for all natural hazard and risk research, alternative methods based on geomorphic investigations are often neglected. Here, we emphasise the use of geomorphic evidence to improve our knowledge of the maximum runout distance reached by snow avalanches as well as the frequency…
Reconstruction of a regional drought index in southern Sweden since AD 1750
We used a network of eight pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur L.) sites ( n trees = 70) and one Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) site ( n trees = 53) to develop drought-sensitive master chronologies for the two areas in southern Scandinavia: a SW-area centred on 57°N 12.7°E and a NE-area centred on 58.8°N 18.2°E. The ratio of actual to equilibrium evapotranspiration (AET/EET) was used as a measure of drought during the growing season defined as the…
Mackenzie River Driftwood
As part of a general study of arctic driftwood, 206 samples of driftwood logs from the Mackenzie delta area were analyzed by dendrochronological methods (tree-ring studies). The aim was to detect the origin of the wood. Three forest stands in the delta were also sampled, and tree-ring chronologies were constructed. The Mackenzie driftwood can be divided into four groups: 1) driftwood originating from the upper Mackenzie delta with individual logs…
