Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Boreas, EarlyView.High‐resolution LiDAR data with field validation of inferred southern Ontario ice stream terrains indicate that steady‐state ice streaming is difficult to reconcile with our observations. Rather, these new observations show strong evidence of significant fluvial scouring across the area in which meltwater sheet flow overtopped the landscape.

Boreas, EarlyView.Recent public releases of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in south central British Columbia (BC), Canada have revealed several landforms resembling ‘murtoos’, previously identified across portions of Scandinavia. In this study, we investigate the morphology and sedimentology of these landforms, the first report of their kind associated with ...

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland
Boreas, EarlyView.Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have occurred throughout the Quaternary in glaciated regions worldwide. Reconstructing flood chronology yields insight into deglaciation processes, environmental change and the role of extreme events in landscape evolution.

Boreas, EarlyView.Gljúfurárjökull, located on the Tröllaskagi Peninsula in northern Iceland, is a small glacier approximately 3.8 km in length. This study analyses the glacier's evolution through a combination of methods including: (i) geomorphological mapping, (ii) Cosmic‐Ray Exposure (CRE) dating, (iii) lichenometry and (iv) palaeoglacier reconstruction (volume ...
