The Rhone Glacier was smaller than today for most of the Holocene
Holocene glacier and climate variations in western Norway: Evidence for early Holocene glacier demise and multiple Neoglacial events
Abstract Glacierized areas in Norway are being considered for future hydro-electric power production due to favorable hydrologic conditions; these include high specific water yield at high altitudes and at relatively short distances from tide water. However, technical problems can be expected in utilization of sedimentladen water, particularly in reservoirs and in the turbines. A study program of sediment transport and deposition was therefore initiated, and some of the major results are given in this paper. Suspended-sediment transport was determined at five selected glaciers by frequent water sampling, at least five samples being taken daily. Sediment concentration ranged from tens of milligrams per liter to several grams per liter, and rapid variations were experienced, particularly in periods of increasing water discharge. No simple correlation was found between water discharge and suspended sediment load but, in general, years of low total water discharge gave less sediment transport than years of high total discharge. Bed load was determined at one glacier (Nigardsbreen outlet glacier from the Jostedalsbreen Ice Cap) by trapping all coarse material in a large, strong fence built across the river. The bed load accounted for 30 to 50 percent of the total transport of solid matter, as measured close to the glacier terminus. The rate of sedimentation in a natural lake close to a glacier was established both as a difference between sediment input and output and by a study of older deposits on the lake bottom. Annual layers (varves) were easily recognized and studies were made of their grain size and mineral composition. “Winter" layers had finer grains, more mica and less quartz than "summer” layers. A great part (70 percent or more) of the suspended-sediment input into the lake settled on its bottom, and the remainder that left the lake consisted mainly of the finest grain size fractions.

A microbial driver of chemical weathering in glaciated systems
Abstract The discovery of Ice Ages is one of the most revolutionary advances ever made in the Earth sciences. In Norway this discovery was made by Danish–Norwegian geoscientist Jens Esmark and his young student Niels Otto Tank, who on a mountain traverse in early September 1823 observed a number of geomorphological features produced by an extant glacier, and compared these to similar features they had previously noted where glaciers today are absent. Seeing a recent moraine pushed up by an extant glacier they suddenly realized that a big ridge of gravel they had earlier seen at sea-level in Southern Norway had to be an ancient moraine, deposited by a big glacier at a time when the climate was substantially colder than today. The brevity of Esmark's account made the precise location of the site of enlightenment remain a mystery for almost two hundred years until it was rediscovered by the author in 2008. This paper describes the crucial site and its lessons.

Abstract The Sognefjord transect described in this field guide starts in the “Norwegian Alps,” the high mountain massif called Jotunheimen, and runs out along Sognefjorden, the world’s longest fjord, to the islands along the Norwegian west coast. Geologically, it provides a complete cross section through the Caledonian mountain belt, and represents an exceptionally well-documented example of late collisional tectonics in an Alpine-type orogen. It is comparable with the Alps as a natural laboratory for orogenic studies, being both easily accessible and well exposed, with a long history of geological research and excellent geological map coverage. The transect exposes several major tectonic structures, including the Jotun thrust complex (Days 1-2), with a demonstrable displacement of 200-300 km, the extensional Nordfjord-Sogn Shear Zone (Days 4-6), with up to 50 km of normal displacement, and the eclogitic orogenic root, with evidence for ductile rebound under predominantly gravitational forces (Day 3). The field trip starts on the cratonic foreland of the Caledonian orogen, in the east (Day 1), continues through the heavily deformed continental margin (Days 1-3), and ends in the remains of the Caledonian ocean complex, in the west (Days 4-6). Detailed structural data are available along the whole transect, together with good stratigraphic, radiometric, petrological, and geophysical control. These data have been analyzed in terms of the kinematics and relative ages of the different deformation phases, and used to reconstruct the crustal geometry at different stages backward in time (kinematic modelling) and to imitate the process of orogenic root collapse (dynamic modelling). The itinerary is based on Excursion 28 of the International Geological Congress, which was held at Oslo in August 2008 .
