Unravelling the evolution of the Frébouge polygenetic cone in Val Ferret (Mont Blanc Massif)
Boreas, EarlyView.Proglacial settings in the Alps are typically polygenetic, often characterized by a complex and discontinuous interplay between glacial, fluvial and gravitational processes. These processes yield high volumes of sediments, which usually exceed their transportation capacity.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Boreas, EarlyView.Map of Lower sediment (LS) thickness is a surrogate for the distribution of Thorncliffe Formation (TF) and ~75% of TF thickness from the slope of Niagara Escarpment east to Brighton. Inset images show the LS sequence at the Don Valleys brickyards (DVBY) and undeformed TF sand and gravel (~15 m) below Newmarket Till (NT) at sites L and Co.

Phelps Lake and Jim Burt: Two Middle Woodland Period Mounds in Northwestern Louisiana [PDF]
, 2002 Clarence Webb defined the pre-Caddoan Bellevue focus on the basis of investigations at several isolated mounds located in upland settings in northwestern Louisiana. With the exception of the Bellevue Site (16B04), little detailed information is available

Boreas, EarlyView.Effective and sustainable land use, conservation, and the use of geological resources (incl. raw materials, aggregates and groundwater) require a clear classification system of sedimentary units, with well‐defined vocabulary and unified mapping practices.

Natural HazardsAbstractFlash floods are a rapid hydrological response that occurs within a short time with rapidly rising water levels and could lead to massive structural, social and economic damages. Therefore, generating flood inundation maps becomes necessary to distinguish areas exposed to floods. Hydrodynamic models are commonly used to generate inundation maps;

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 ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Quantifying the potential effects of climate change on juvenile salmonid body length at a large spatiotemporal scale is challenging given the multitude of biological processes and methodological constraints. In the present work, we analysed potential changes in size‐at‐age of juvenile Atlantic salmon cohorts over the past 50 years in the ...
