Abstract

In this presentation, I will present a summary of my main results from past and on-going research projects and briefly talk about my future research plans. The research projects can be grouped into three topics: i) glacial processes and landforms, ii) Weichselian glacial history of the Scandinavian ice sheet, and iii) Arctic research with special emphasis on the Greenland ice sheet. I will highlight some of the main findings from all three topics, but primarily focus on my Steno-research project, which deals with the Greenland ice sheet response to natural climate variations during the last 10.000 years.
