Individual records and awards include the following: This biographical article relating to Swedish sport

64-525: A southern gulf and a northern lake across Norra Kvarken no earlier than in about 2,000 years. Isostatic rebound exposed a submarine joint valley landscape as Stockholm archipelago . Since deglaciation the rate of post-glacial rebound in the Kandalaksha Gulf has varied. Since the White Sea connected to the world's oceans uplift along the southern coast of the gulf has totaled 90 m. In

96-789: Is Strömtorps IK . Weichselian glaciation The Weichselian glaciation is the regional name for the Last Glacial Period in the northern parts of Europe . In the Alpine region it corresponds to the Würm glaciation . It was characterized by a large ice sheet (the Fenno-Scandian ice sheet) that spread out from the Scandinavian Mountains and extended as far as the east coast of Schleswig-Holstein , northern Poland and Northwest Russia . This glaciation

Degerfors Degerfors ( Swedish pronunciation: [ˈdêːɡɛrˌfɔʂ] ) is a locality and the seat of Degerfors Municipality , Örebro County , Sweden, with 7,160 inhabitants in 2010. Degerfors is the sixth-largest city in Örebro County. It

160-626: Is also known as the Weichselian ice age ( German : Weichsel-Eiszeit ), Vistulian glaciation, Weichsel or, less commonly, the Weichsel glaciation, Weichselian cold period ( Weichsel-Kaltzeit ), Weichselian glacial ( Weichsel-Glazial ), Weichselian Stage or, rarely, the Weichselian complex ( Weichsel-Komplex ). In Northern Europe it was the youngest of the glacials of the Pleistocene ice age . The preceding warm period in this region

192-503: Is best known for the football team Degerfors IF . Despite the relatively small size of the town, Degerfors has always had strong local support, and played a total of 29 years in the highest division Allsvenskan . In 1997 the team were relegated and were playing in the second highest Swedish league, Superettan until they achieved promotion back to Allsvenskan (highest Swedish league) in 2020. Another sports club located in Degerfors

224-470: Is located at the southern shore of lake Möckeln , 13 km (8 mi) south of neighboring Karlskoga . Degerfors evolved around the ironworks , that is nowadays owned by the Finnish conglomerate Outokumpu Oyj . It is also home to the football club Degerfors IF , which is playing in the second tier of Swedish football, Superettan . Degerfors has traditionally been an industrial community closely connected to

256-853: The Canadian Arctic Archipelago could effect this by causing "relatively fresher" water from the Arctic and the North Pacific to flow east of Greenland disrupting the convection of North Atlantic Deep Water . According to this view any closing of the Bering Strait that blockades the entering of North Pacific water to the Arctic Ocean would have been detrimental for the inception of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet. Jan Mangerud posits that parts of

288-835: The Pleistocene is given a local name. In the Alpine region it is the Würm glaciation , in Great Britain the Devensian glaciation , in Ireland the Midlandian glaciation and in North America, the Wisconsin glaciation . The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet of the Weichselian glaciation most likely grew out of a mountain glaciation of small ice fields and ice caps in the Scandinavian Mountains . The initial glaciation of

The location has a railway station and a narrow-gauge railway connecting it with Bredsjö , the Bredsjö–Degerfors Järnväg  [ Wikidata ] . Tourists to the region usually stop at the Sveafallen nature reserve. Degesfors is the site of Sveafallen, a geological landscape of small canyons and giant's kettles . Immediately south of Degerfors lies

352-545: The groundwater recharge zone came above sea level. About 115,000 years ago average temperatures dropped markedly and warmth-loving woodland species were displaced. This significant turning point in average temperatures marked the end of the Eemian interglacial and start of the Weichselian glacial stage. It is divided into three sections, based on the temperature variation: the Weichselian Early Glacial,

384-614: The nature reserve of Sveafallen. The reserve contains a series of small canyons as well as numerous and large giant's kettles . Sveafallen was long held to be the outlet of the Ancylus Lake , a fresh-water predecessor to the Baltic Sea . The site was first discovered in 1923 by Lennart von Post being the focus of a protracted and sometimes bitter scientific debate that involved not only von Post but also figures such as Henrik Munthe , Astrid Cleve and Curt Fredén . The site

416-807: The Last Glacial Maximum, the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet coalesced with the ice sheet that was growing in the Barents Sea 24 ka BP ( kiloannī or one thousand years Before Present ) and with the ice sheet of the British Isles at about thousand years later. At this point the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet formed part of a larger Eurasian ice sheet complex—a contiguous glacial ice mass which spanned an area from Ireland to Novaya Zemlya . The central parts of

448-658: The Norwegian coast were likely free from glacier ice during most of the Weichselian prior to the Last Glacial Maximum . Between 38 and 28 ka BP there was a relatively warm period in Fennoscandia called the Ålesund interstadial. The interstadial receives its name from the Ålesund municipality in Norway where its existence was first established based on the local fossil record of shells . The growth of

480-651: The Sarek Mountains formed various ephemeral ice-dammed lakes that caused numerous glacial lake outburst floods down the rivers of northernmost Sweden. Isostatic adjustment bought by deglaciation is reflected in the shoreline changes of the Baltic Sea and other nearby bodies of water. In the Baltic Sea uplift has been greatest at the High Coast in the western Bothnian Sea . Within the High Coast

512-722: The Scandinavian Mountains would have been enabled by moisture coming from the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains high altitude. Perhaps the best modern analogues to this early glaciation are the ice fields of Andean Patagonia . Since the proximity to the temperate North Atlantic typically precludes ice growth in Scandinavia, changes in the North Atlantic are thought to be required for glaciation to develop in Scandinavia. The freezing and glaciation of

544-399: The Weichsel ice sheet had cold-based conditions during the times of maximum extent. This means that in areas like north-east Sweden and northern Finland pre-existing landforms and deposits escaped glacier erosion and are particularly well preserved at present. Also during times of maximum extent the ice sheet terminated to the east in a gently uphill terrain meaning that rivers drained into

576-806: The Weichselian High Glacial (also Weichselian Pleniglacial ) and the Weichselian Late Glacial. During the Weichselian, there were frequent major variations in climate in the northern hemisphere, the so-called Dansgaard–Oeschger events . The Weichsel Early Glacial (115,000–60,000 BC) is in turn divided into four stages: In the Weichselian High Glacial (57,000 – c. 15,000 BC) the ice sheet advanced into North Germany. In this period, however, several interstadials have been documented. The short "Weichselian Late Glacial" (12,500 – c. 10,000 BC)

608-522: The bulk of Kola Peninsula and the White Sea were free from ice during the Younger Dryas. Before the Younger Dryas, deglaciation had not been uniform and small ice sheet re-advances had occurred forming a series of end-moraine systems, notably those in Götaland. During deglaciation, meltwater formed numerous eskers and sandurs . In north-central Småland and southern Östergötland part of

640-529: The glacier front and large proglacial lakes built up. The Last Glacial Maximum extent was first reached 22 ka BP in the southern boundary of the ice sheet in Denmark, Germany and Western Poland (Sławskie Lake District and Leszczyńskie Lake District). In Eastern Poland, Lithuania, Belarus and Pskov Oblast in Russia the ice sheet reached its maximum extent about 19 ka BP. In the remainder of northwestern Russia

672-614: The ice sheet became increasingly concentrated in the Scandinavian Mountains (it had left Russia 10.6 ka BP and Finland 10.1 ka BP). Further retreat of the ice margin led the ice sheet to concentrate in two parts of the Scandinavian Mountains, one part in Southern Norway and another in Northern Sweden and Norway. These two centres were linked for a time. The linkage constituted a major drainage barrier that formed various large and ephemeral ice-dammed lakes . About 10.1 ka BP

704-436: The ice sheet grew out; it was dissimilar in that the ice divide lagged behind as the ice mass concentrated in the west. It is not known if the ice sheet disintegrated into scattered remains before vanishing or if it shrank while maintaining its coherence as a single ice mass. It is possible that while some ice remained east of Sarek Mountains parts of the ice sheet survived temporarily in the high mountains. Remnants east of

736-406: The ice sheet to its Last Glacial Maximum extent began after the Ålesund interstadial. By circa 26 ka BP, the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet reached the mid-Norwegian continental shelf break. The growth of the ice sheet was accompanied by an eastward migration of the ice divide from the Scandinavian Mountains eastwards into Sweden and the Baltic Sea. As the ice sheets in northern Europe grew prior to

768-454: The interval from 9,500–5,000 years ago the uplift rate was of 9–13 mm/ yr . Prior to the Atlantic period the uplift rate had decreased to 5–5.5 mm/yr, to then rise briefly before arriving at the present uplift rate of 4 mm/yr. Emergence above sea level is thought to have resulted in the triggering of a series of landslides in western Sweden as pore pressure increased when

800-575: The large ironworks , associated with members of the Camitz family . The settlement (originally called Johannelund) grew up around this industry and got the status of a municipalsamhälle (a type of borough within a municipality) in 1912. Today it acts as seat of the larger Degerfors Municipality. In the 1870s, a group of people native to the Degerfors-area emigrated to the Ural region (then part of

832-569: The largest glacier advance occurred 17 ka BP. As the ice margin started to recede 22–17 ka BP Denmark (except Bornholm ), Germany, Poland and Belarus were ice-free 16 ka BP. The ice margin then retreated until the Younger Dryas when the ice sheet stabilized. By this time, most of Götaland , Gotland , all of the Baltic states and the southeastern coast of Finland had been added to the ice-free regions. In Russia, Lake Ladoga , Lake Onega ,

864-471: The linkage had disappeared and so did the Southern Norway centre of the ice sheet about a thousand years later. The northern centre remained a few hundred years more so that by 9.7 ka BP the eastern Sarek Mountains hosted the last remnant of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet. As the ice sheet retreated to the Scandinavian Mountains this was not a return to its former mountain centred glaciation from which

896-558: The meltwater was routed through a series of canyons. It is speculated that during the Younger Dryas a small glacier readvance in Sweden created a natural lock system that brought freshwater taxa such as Mysis and Salvelinus to lakes like Sommen that were never connected to the Baltic Ice Lake . The survival of these cold-water taxa into the present-day means they are glacial relicts. When ice margin retreat resumed

928-514: The relict shoreline at 286 m in Skuleberget is at present the highest known point on Earth to have been uplifted by postglacial isostatic rebound. North of the High Coast at Furuögrund off the coast of Skellefteå lies the area with the highest uplift rates at present with values of about 9 mm/yr. Ongoing post-glacial rebound is thought to result in splitting of the Gulf of Bothnia into

960-571: Was initially proposed to be the dry remnant of a dramatic river or waterfall comparable to Niagara Falls . Research by Curt Fredén cast well founded doubts on this view, with the final demise being a 1981 study by Birgitta Ericsson et al showing that the giant's kettles in the area are older than the Ancylus Lake. Sveafallen is now believed to have formed by meltwater streams under the Fennoscandian ice sheet . Nationally, Degerfors

992-693: Was the Eemian interglacial . The last cold period began about 115,000 years ago and ended 11,700 years ago. Its end corresponds with the end of the Pleistocene epoch and the start of the Holocene . The German geologist Konrad Keilhack  [ de ] (1858–1944) named it using the German name ( Weichsel ) of the Vistula ( Polish : Wisła ) in present-day Poland. In other regions Major Glacial 4 of

1024-479: Was the period of slow warming after the Weichselian High Glacial. It was however again interrupted by some colder episodes. Following the last of these cold periods, the Younger Dryas , the Weichselian Glacial ended with an abrupt climb in temperature around 9,660 ± 40 BC. This was the start of our present interglacial , the Holocene . In addition to the above subdivisions the depositions of
