History of the Scandinavian ice sheet and surrounding landscapes during Valday ice age and the Holocene

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2017
The reconstruction of natural environments associated with the development and degradation of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet from the Mikulino Interglacial period to the Holocene is presented in this paper.

First Empirical Assessment of Ice Content From a Himalayan Rock Glacier

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Climate warming and degradation of glaciers and permafrost in High Mountain Asia is threatening the sustainability of the region's natural “water towers” and allied ecosystems and infrastructure. Approximately 25,000 Himalayan rock glaciers exist and, being more resilient to climatic change than glaciers, they represent important freshwater ...

Sedimentology and geochemistry of the recent sediments of the river system on Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island, Antarctica

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 4, September 2026.
This study investigates the sedimentology and geochemistry of recent sediments from ephemeral river systems on Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island, Antarctica. These systems are important for understanding sedimentary and geochemical processes in unique polar environments.

Glacial-interglacial sedimentation control on gas seepage exemplified by Vestnesa Ridge off NW Svalbard margin

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Vestnesa Ridge is built-up of thick contourites mainly deposited during the last ∼5 million years. Methane leaks from deep gas reservoirs creating pockmarks on its crest, and which have been the focus of numerous studies.

Numerical Modelling of Late Pleistocene to Holocene Earthquake‐Induced Progressive Rock Slope Damage in the Paraglacial Serpentine Valley, Prince William Sound, Alaska

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
Numerical modelling of earthquake‐induced progressive rock slope damage in the paraglacial Serpentine valley, Prince William Sound, Alaska. Repeated seismicity generates rock mass damage that may have conditioned areas of the slope for failure during present‐day ice retreat.

Sediment Characteristics and Architecture of Triangular‐Shaped Murtoos: A Test of Murtoo Formation Hypotheses

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
Murtoos and murtooized terrains are new types of subglacial landforms found in the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS) and Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) regions. LiDAR‐based morphometric analyses have revealed substantial morphometric diversity among murtoos and murtoo‐related landforms, while sedimentological excavations have documented a wide range of ...

Deglaciation of southern Quebec

open access: yes, 1972
A compilation of morainic features, eskers, glacial striations, and radiocarbon dates relating to final deglaciation is presented for the Appalachian Mountains and St. Lawrence Lowlands areas of southern Quebec. The data have been obtained largely by Geological Survey of Canada mapping since 1950.

North Indian Ocean benthic foraminifera elemental ratio data since the last deglaciation

open access: yes, 2020
The evolution of intermediate circulation in the northern Indian Ocean since the last deglaciation has been reconstructed from two marine cores located at intermediate depths off the southern tip of India (MD77-191) and in the northern Bay of Bengal ...

Toward an Improved Understanding of the Antarctic Coastal Zone and Its Contribution to Future Global Sea Level

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

GIA‐Induced Mantle Circulation and Surface Horizontal Motions in North America: Effects of 3D Laterally Varying Elastic Thickness and Viscosity

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The horizontal surface motions of the Earth's crust induced by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) are highly sensitive to lateral variations in Earth properties. We construct 3D GIA models by incorporating both varying elastic lithospheric thickness and lateral viscosity variations in the asthenosphere in a global, compressible, self ...
