"Considers external images of Iceland and Greenland from the latter part of the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century in terms of their perceived 'otherness' during that period. The main methodologies used are approaches derived from imagology, or imag…
Areas of high latitude, such as Greenland, are expected to experience some of the most dramatic changes in climate during this century. Future projections describe an increase in precipitation in the Arctic, from both increased moisture transport from lower latitudes, and an inc…
This thesis uses palaeolimnological records to reconstruct Holocene ontogeny trends from four lakes in south western Greenland. The research addresses four hypotheses investigating how Holocene lake ontogeny trends vary under different climatic settings, how long-term changes in…
This volume begins with a short introduction which portrays the finds of garments from the Norse settlement of Herjolfsnes in Greenland. It then features chapters on technique, including the production of the thread, dyeing, weaving techniques, and much more.

"How could a community of 2-3000 Viking peasants survive in Arctic Greenland for 430 years (ca. 985 - 1415), and why did they finally disappear? European agriculture in an Arctic environment met serious ecological challenges. The Norse peasants met them by adapting agricultural …
