Geomorphology and Late Pleistocene–Holocene Sedimentary Processes of the Eastern Gulf of Finland

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
In 2017, a detailed study of the Eastern Gulf of Finland (the Baltic Sea) seafloor was performed to identify and map submerged glacial and postglacial geomorphologic features and collect data pertinent to the understanding of sedimentation in postglacial

Microbiology and Nitrogen Cycle in the Benthic Sediments of a Glacial Oligotrophic Deep Andean Lake as Analog of Ancient Martian Lake-Beds

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Potential benthic habitats of early Mars lakes, probably oligotrophic, could range from hydrothermal to cold sediments. Dynamic processes in the water column (such as turbidity or UV penetration) as well as in the benthic bed (temperature gradients ...

Recession and Ice Surface Elevation Changes of Baranowski Glacier and Its Impact on Proglacial Relief (King George Island, West Antarctica)

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
Glacial forefields areas are dynamic landscapes, and due to the glacier frontal position changes, they are sensitive to climatic fluctuations. The results of the analysis of aerial photos, satellite imagery, archival maps, and terrestrial laser scanning ...

Geomorphology of the Aran Valley (Upper Garonne Basin, Central Pyrenees)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2022
Geomorphological mapping in mountain regions is key for a better understanding of past and present environmental dynamics. Here, we present a 1:25000 scale geomorphological map covering 553 km2 of the Aran Valley, Upper Garonne Basin (Central Pyrenees ...

Timing of the deglaciation and the late-glacial vegetation development on the Pandivere Upland, North Estonia [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2016
In this study, the deglaciation chronology of the Pandivere Upland is defined, and the late-glacial vegetation trends of north-eastern Estonia are summarised.

Glacial‐Isostatic Adjustment Models Using Geodynamically Constrained 3D Earth Structures

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2021
Glacial‐isostatic adjustment (GIA) is the key process controlling relative sea‐level (RSL) and paleo‐topography. The viscoelastic response of the solid Earth is controlled by its viscosity structure.

Two additions to the moss flora of the South Shetland Islands in the maritime Antarctic

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2018
Tortella fragilis (Drumm.) Limpr. (Pottiaceae) and Bryum nivale Müll. Hal. (Bryaceae) are recorded for the first time from the South Shetland Islands in the northern maritime Antarctic. They were discovered in the Admiralty Bay area on King George Island,

Plant succession on glacial moraines in the Arctic Brooks Range along a >125,000-year glacial chronosequence/toposequence

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2023
Widespread glacial retreat is now occurring in many arctic mountain ranges, yet little is known about primary succession following deglaciation in these settings.

Retreat of the Cordillera Darwin icefield during Termination I

open access: yesCuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2017
During the last glaciation, the Cordillera Darwin icefield expanded northward toward the Straits of Magellan, eastward across Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and through Canal Beagle, and south and west across the numerous islands of southernmost Chile ...

Vegetation Succession Patterns at Sperry Glacier’s Foreland, Glacier National Park, MT, USA

open access: yesLand
Plant colonization patterns on deglaciated terrain give insight into the factors influencing alpine ecosystem development. Our objectives were to use a chronosequence, extending from the Little Ice Age (~1850) terminal moraine to the present glacier ...
