Nils-Axel Marner &Wibjarn Karlen Organizers of the Stockholm
Symposium in 1983 Stockholm University, Sweden This book is the
Proceedings of the SECOND NORDIC SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATIC CHANGES AND
RELATED PROBLEMS held in Stockholm, Sweden, May 16-20, 1983
(Frydendahl et al., 1983; Marner, 1983). This was "an international
interdisciplinary symposium with special refe rence to Nordic
records and their relation to global climatic changes." The first
NORDIC SYMPOSIUM ON CLIMATIC CHANGES AND RELATED PROBLEMS was held
in Copenhagen in 1978 ( Frydendahl, 1978) and had a very broad
scientific program. The SECOND NORDIC SYMPOSIUM was specifically
directed to certain problems, time ranges and sources of
information, as discussed below. Scandinavia is a classical area
for the study of climatic fluctuations during the last 20,000 years
. A major part of the basic data for the international theories and
synthesis originate from Scandinavian data. This applies, for
example, to: (1) The drastic climatic fluctuations in connection
with the re cession of the land-ice giving rise to the alternation
of inter stadials (warm periods with rapid ice recession) and
stadials (cold periods with readvances or retardations in the ice
recession). (2) The climatic changes during the Holocene with its
well-known sub-division according to the Blytt-Sernander system
(nowadays being used far outside the boreal region for which it was
origi nally defined). (3) The Holocene climatic optimum and the
subsequent climatic de terioration at around 2500 BP
(well-established already at the beginning of this century)."
