Abstract
Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 108(1):143–151, 2008 Different field methods, which may result in lichen growth curves and lichenometric dating curves, respectively, are outlined and discussed. Emphasis is laid on various factors that need to be taken into consideration in order to avoid errors. The importance of having many control points and minimizing of heterogeneous habitat factors in establishing the sample areas are stressed. It is also important to be aware of some problems regarding the lichen taxa, which are commonly used for lichenometric purposes. A recent example of the application of this particular technique on a glacier foreland at the Mittivakkat Glacier on Ammassalik Island in South East Greenland is discussed.
