Stratigraphic evidence for modern‐like glacier extents in south‐central Alaska within the last glacial period (MIS 3)

Boreas, EarlyView.
The last (Wisconsinan) glacial period was punctuated in North America by two glacial maxima, known as the Early and Late Wisconsinan glaciations. In Alaska, these maxima and their subsequent retreats have been the object of dating efforts to reconstruct local climatic events and compare them to global trends.

Fluvial geomorphic parameters of the Shuiluo River Catchment and their tectonic implications, SE Tibetan Plateau

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science
The Shuiluo River Catchment (SRC) is the front zone of the southeast compression and uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, with intense tectonic activity. In the basin, a series of regional large NW–SE trending active faults are developed.

Geomorphic imprint of high-mountain floods: insights from the 2022 hydrological extreme across the upper Indus River catchment in the northwestern Himalayas [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics
The interaction of tectonics, surface processes, and climate extremes impacts how the landscape responds to extreme hydrological events. In 2022, an anomalous precipitation event occurred during the monsoon season along the lower–middle reaches of the ...

Flow‐pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet indicated by the subglacial lineation record over Norway, Sweden and Finland

Boreas, EarlyView.
We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

Freshwater fishes of the Waterberg aquatic ecoregion, South Africa: Diversity, taxonomic conflicts and conservation concerns

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Southern Africa is a region denoted by both high levels of fish diversity, some of it cryptic and unrecognised by current taxonomy, and severely threatened freshwater ecosystems. The Waterberg, a key aquatic ecoregion of the greater Limpopo River basin in South Africa, represents an area with high terrestrial conservation value but is lacking ...

Unveiling Lithological Diversity and Active Tectonic Processes of the Nabitah Fault Zone, Saudi Arabia: A Remote Sensing and Drainage Analysis Approach to Environmental Sustainability

Applied Sciences
Active tectonics in the Arabian Shield region has substantially influenced the drainage system and geomorphic expressions. The Nabitah Fault Zone (NFZ), located in the southern portion of the Arabian Nubian Shield, is an intra-arc suture that traces the ...

The Influence of short-term land use change on soil evolution in the centre-south coastal areas of Sardinia [PDF]

, 2008
The land use change in short-term (time and space) in the Mediterranean context can be induced by phenomena like destruction of the autochthonous plant species, land abandonment, overgrazing, fire, urbanization (above all for touristic purpose), etc ...
