National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Publication Date	1976
Personal Author	Karlen, W.
Page Count	35
Abstract	Holocene climatic changes recorded in Lapland, northern Sweden, are described. Recorded changes are dated in three different ways: (1) moraines fronting alpine glaciers are dated lichenometrically, (2) lacustrine sediments, in which the silt content varies with size fluctuations of a small glacier, are C14 dated, and (3) variations in altitude of the pine tree limit are C14 dated. The advantages and limitations of the three techniques are discussed and the results of the studies are compared.
