Södra Sverige i senglacial tid

Abstract Some points of view concerning the Swedish time scale are discussed, especially the new dating of the Finiglacial epoch. The investigation of Gothiglacial varved clay by the present author has up to now resulted in the determination of the time-limits of the Older Dryas, the Allerod and the Younger Dryas Ages. Further information in a summery at the end of this paper.

Issjöstudier i södra Sverige

Abstract In this paper there are mentioned some of the results of an investigation of varved clay which is going on in southern Sweden. These results as well as contributions from scientists in Finland and Sweden give the present author an opportunity to complete and correct his earlier contributions to the late-quaternary history of southern Sweden. Further informations in a summary at the end of this paper.

Om sydvästra Sveriges senkvartära historia

Abstract When L. von Posts diagram showing the “Mathematic relations of the ancient shore-levels of the Vanern-Basin” (von Post, 1933) could be substituted by an ordinary distance-diagram (E. Nilsson, 1953) it was obvious that no irregular earth-movements had occurred in this region during the Late-Quaternary time. Now as the shorelines of the distance-diagram have been extended southward to the Swedish West Coast (fig. 1) and the displacement-curves are drawn for Goteborg, Horred and Halmstad these curves also register a very regular landuplift and a continous regression of the sea during the Goti- and Finiglacial times, followed by a Postglacial transgression. These curves fit very well with the results of earlier investigations in Goteborg and Halmstad. There are no signs of any irregular earth-movements and, of course, no use longer of “elastic chockes” (von Post) and hinge-lines (N. A. Morner) in explaining the Late-Quaternary History of the SW Sweden; the mode of uplift of the land has been the sam...
