Disturbance‐Associated Plant Communities in Africa's Largest Alpine Ecosystem: Evidence for Long‐Term Anthropogenic Influence

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
This study provides the first integrated evidence of long‐term human impacts in Ethiopia's Bale Mountains, combining modern vegetation transects with sedimentary steroid and bile acid biomarkers. We identified a sharp 200 m settlement edge and reveal sustained anthropogenic influence from the late Pleistocene, with pastoralism intensifying around 6.5 ...

Wartanian glacial sediments: insights into deglaciation of Polish Lowlands and Highlands border for geotourism

open access: yesMiscellanea Geographica: Regional Studies on Development
This paper presents five sites located in the marginal zone of the Wartanian stadial within the Odranian Glaciation (MIS6a) on the border of the Central Polish Uplands and Lowlands, representing different glacial forms and geological structures: terminal

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 1032-1054, October 2026.
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Meltwater injections and their impact on Atlantic meridional overturning circulation and climate during the time period of Heinrich Event 1 and the last deglaciation

open access: yes, 2008
The temporal relationship between meltwater pulse 1a (mwp-1a) and the climatehistory of the last deglaciation remains a subject of debate. By combining theGRIP ?18O ice core record on the new Greenland Ice Core Chronology 2005(GICC05) timescale with the ...

The Impact of Climate and Land Cover Change on the Cryosphere and Hydrology of the Mackenzie River Basin, Canada

open access: yesWater Resources Research
Northern basins are projected to continue warming at rates higher than the global average, with the impacts of warming compounded by concomitant deglaciation, permafrost thaw and vegetation shifts.

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 1073-1101, October 2026.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

Lodge moraines: a common yet underreported end‐moraine type—a review

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 906-931, October 2026.
Lodge moraines are a distinct genetic type of end moraine formed by submarginal accretion of subglacial till; they are some of the largest end moraines in the world. Although underreported in the literature, they are of equal importance to push, dump and hummocky end moraines. End moraines are formed at glacier ice margins and show the extent of former

Truncated drumlins and their implication for past sea level reconstructions

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 1228-1247, October 2026.
Coastal erosion of glacigenic sediments, particularly in the form of retreating drumlin bluffs, is a key process in paraglacial landscape evolution during periods of relative sea‐level (RSL) rise. As marine transgression reworks formerly subaerial glacial terrains, drumlins act as discrete sediment sources generating characteristic erosional and ...

Laurentide ice-sheet instability during the last deglaciation [PDF]

open access: yes
Changes in the amount of summer incoming solar radiation (insolation) reaching the Northern Hemisphere are the underlying pacemaker of glacial cycles. However, not all rises in boreal summer insolation over the past 800,000 years resulted in deglaciation
