Abstract:

From approximately 985CE, two Norse settlements were founded on the South and South-Western coasts of Greenland. Roughly 500 years later, the final recorded Norse voyage to Greenland marked the end of their contact with the outside world and by around 1500CE, both settlements were devoid of any living Norsemen. Numerous theories regarding the ultimate fate of the settlers have been put forward, with most modern prevailing theories describing issues driven by worsening climate, failing economic and farming prospects and dwindling populations. While resource shortages resulting from diminishing

Abstract:

This thesis tests and applies a new, physically based snow distribution and melt model at spatial scales of tens of metres and temporal scales of days across sub-arctic landscapes, in order to assess the significance of snow variability in sub-arctic human ecodynamics at resolutions relevant to human activities. A wider goal is to contribute to planning in the face of future climate change. Model tests are undertaken based on original field data collected in Sweden and Norway, and secondary data from Idaho, France and Greenland. Model applications focus on the ‘completed experiment’ of the med

Abstract:

This thesis examines and analyzes the extant archaeological, historical, and literary evidence for the beliefs and practices of the Greenland Norse, their influences, and their evolution over time. By critically examining previously held assumptions about the cultural, climatic, and religious conditions of Greenland during this time the available data is placed in its proper context and reveals the geoconceptual world of the Greenlanders and their place in it. This interdisciplinary approach illustrates the extent to which the physical environment and location of Greenland played a role in the

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to understand the role of geomorphological change in the abandonment of Norse harbours in the North Atlantic. Nodes of maritime activities that were established by Norse settlers during the Scandinavian Viking Age often developed into important towns and cities. Some of these, however, disappeared for unknown reasons. Norse harbours in the North Atlantic varied in scale. They ranged from small landing beaches used by small boats for local use through to much larger anchorages handling considerable trade and being important nodes on the transatlantic trading network.

Abstract:

By way of introduction the thesis considers Norse whaling history, in general, concepts like 'whaling tradition', 'whaling culture', and describes the approach to the divers studies of cetaceans in Norse peasant fisherman economy and culture and of Norse whaling techniques, ca 900-1900 AD. It is argued that the Icelandic littoral and inshore regime reflects the primordial Norse regime in which property zones on land are 'mirrored' in the littoral and the sea; furthermore, that the Orcadian-Shetlandic Udal ebb limit is not Norse in origin.

Abstract:

La colonisation médiévale scandinave au Groenland (986 – 1450 AD) et la reconquête agricole récente de la région sud-groenlandaise, favorisée par le réchauffement climatique en cours, constituent un modèle de référence particulièrement adapté à l’étude des relations entre une communauté humaine et son environnement. Dans cette perspective, une étude sédimentologique multiparamètre a été réalisée sur la séquence sédimentaire du lac d’Igaliku (N61°00’22”, W45°26’28”), situé au cœur de la principale implantation médiévale et du secteur agro-pastoral contemporain.

The reasons for variations in bone growth of domestic ungulates are examined in detail; nutrition is identified as a key factor in the determination of adult bone size and shape. Possible sources of variation in bone size in both time and space in the North Atlantic region are identified.

Abstract:

No<br>Insight into the relative importance of sheep and goat herding and of the economic significance of each species (i.e., milk vs. meat vs. wool) in Medieval Greenland is obtained through the application of Halstead et al.¿s (2002) criteria for the identification of adult ovicaprine mandibles to faunal assemblages from three Norse farmsteads: Sandnes, V52a, and Ø71S. The economic strategies identified are broadly comparable between the two species and the Eastern and Western Settlement sites examined, and are suggestive of the subsistence production of meat and milk.

The ice covers almost 80 % of Greenland’s surface, and it is the second biggest ice on earth after Antarctica. If all the ice on Greenland melted, it will cause the rising of sea level in the world by 7 meters. We study the ambient seismic noise in Greenland and the surrounding area by using the probability density function – power spectral density (PDF-PSD) method. We have processed 34 seismic recording data during 2016 to 2017 for the Z component into PSD and sp

Ambient noise "hot spots" or concentrated areas of relatively high noise levels were found along the ice edge using a towed array. Ambient noise levels were obtained on 27 and 28 July using AN/SSQ-57A and AN/SSQ-57XN5 calibrated sonobuoys . The temperature structure of the area was determined using XBT (ship) and AXBT (P3C aircraft) buoys placed inside and o
