TL;DR: In this article, the authors used airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data to identify De Geer moraines (DGMs) in Sweden and showed that they occur predominantly in two distinct areas: in south-central Sweden north of the Middle Swedish end-moraine zone and in northeast Sweden.
Abstract: De Geer moraines (DGMs) were first identified in Sweden by Gerard De Geer in 1889 and have been mapped since then in many parts of Sweden. Using airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data, we have mapped DGMs over the entire country, and we show that they occur predominantly in two distinct areas: in south-central Sweden north of the Middle Swedish end-moraine zone and in northeast Sweden. DGM formation occurs predominantly where the local relief is low, the ice-margin retreat rate was high and the sedimentation rate low. Formation of DGMs occurred over short time spans of a few hundred years – between 11 500 and 11 000 cal years BP for the southern group and from 10 700 and 9900 cal years BP for the DGMs in the north. DGMs have been suggested to be made by a number of processes at subaquatic ice margins, including pushing during winter readvance, squeezing into subglacial crevasses, deformation during calving events and deposition as subaquatic fans. Therefore, we recognize DGMs to be equi...

TL;DR: In this article, the complex structural evolution within the VMS-hosting Skellefte district, Sweden, has been investigated to provide a solid structural framework for the known mineral deposits in the area.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a 2D interpretation tool to model the data in TE, TM, TE+TM and determinant modes, using a 4% error floor on the impedance, 2D resistivity models from inversion of the determinant data provide lower RMS data fits.

TL;DR: Different types of ice-dammed lakes occur along the Swedish part of the Scandinavian mountain range as discussed by the authors, and traces of wide open lakes are found mainly in the north and south, where the ice-lake distribution indicates that the ice recession in the northern and south proceeded towards active centres east of the mountains.
Abstract: Different types of ice-dammed lakes occur along the Swedish part of the Scandinavian mountain range. Traces of wide open lakes are found mainly in the north and south. In the main part of the area the ice-dammed basins were more or less filled by dead ice. The ice-lake distribution indicates that the ice recession in the north and south proceeded towards active centres east of the mountains. In the middle part the corresponding centres were gradually more controlled by the mountain relief.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed 1130 U-Pb analyses on zircons from 25 samples across the Pajala shear zone in northern Fennoscandia to study the origin of the zone.
