Welcome to explore Quaternary palaeoclimatological research at the
Department of Geosciences and Geography, University of Helsinki. Our research aims at better
understanding of past climatological and environmental dynamics in
terrestrial, lacustrine and atmospheric realms (see our
research themes ). Research
approaches combine the novel quantitative techniques and various
forms of proxy data in order to reconstruct past climate changes and associated
atmospheric circulation dynamics. An extra motivation is the importance of
this knowledge in the use of climate modellers and in assessing future climate
scenarios. We hope to be able to provide data and information for specialists
on a wide spectrum of science and society. Our research focuses on late-Quaternary timescales. The key research areas are in northern and northeastern Europe, ranging from the eastern Atlantic seaboard towards the Eurasian mainland, thus covering the strong longitudinal oceanity-continentality gradient of northern Europe. We are interested in methods reflecting
The proxy archives we use include:
