palaeoglaciologiska
Palaeoglaciology is the scientific study of past glacial periods, focusing on the reconstruction of ancient ice sheets and glaciers. This interdisciplinary field combines elements of geology, climatology, and geomorphology to understand the processes, dynamics, and environmental impacts of past glaciations. Palaeoglaciologists analyze various types of evidence, including glacial landforms, sedimentary deposits, and geochemical indicators, to infer the extent, thickness, and behavior of ice masses during different epochs.
Key areas of study within palaeoglaciology include the reconstruction of past ice sheets, such as those during
The methods employed in palaeoglaciology encompass a range of techniques, such as field mapping, sediment analysis,
