    • Ancient sedimentary DNA shows rapid post-glacial colonisation of Iceland followed by relatively stable vegetation until the Norse settlement (Landnám) AD 870

      Understanding patterns of colonisation is important for explaining both the distribution of single species and anticipating how ecosystems may respond to global warming. Insular flora may be especially vulnerable because oceans represent severe dispersal barriers. Here we analyse two lake sediment cores from Iceland for ancient sedimentary DNA to infer patterns of colonisation and Holocene vegetation ...

    • Late Quaternary tephra stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental reconstruction based on lake sediments from North and Northeast Iceland 

      Bender, Emma Marie (Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-07-12)
      Due to Iceland’s position in the middle of the North Atlantic, the island is highly sensitive to oceanic and atmospheric fluctuations, which lead to changes in the environment. These fluctuating environmental conditions in addition to Iceland’s high volcanic activity make it a strategic study area for paleoenvironmental and tephra studies. Lake sediments contain information about such past climate ...
