Neotectonics and inferred movements in Canada [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1988
Neotectonic movements in Canada are due to a variety of causes. Within the Canadian Shield (craton) postglacial rebound appears to be the main contributor.

Formal stratigraphy in the Pleistocene of Finland [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1992
The importance of the application of formal lithostratigraphical, biostratigraphical and chronostratigraphical procedures to the subdivision of Finnish Pleistocene sediment sequences and the need to define both regional and local stratotypes are ...

Quaternary chronostratigraphy - a review [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1992
Quaternary development is characterized by strong climatic fluctuations associated with repeated glacier expansions. Consequently the Quaternary chronostratigraphy is largely based on the dating of climatic fluctuations which have led to large-scale ...

An Assessment of Geophysical Survey Techniques for Characterising the Subsurface Around Glacier Margins, and Recommendations for Future Applications

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Geophysical surveys provide an efficient and non-invasive means of studying subsurface conditions in numerous sedimentary settings. In this study, we explore the application of three geophysical methods to a proglacial environment, namely ground ...

Exploring beneath the retreating ice: swath bathymetry reveals sub- to proglacial processes and longevity of future alpine glacial lakes

Annals of Glaciology
Knowledge of how glaciations formed landscapes is particularly important as receding glaciers currently uncover subglacial landscapes that are prone to a series of natural hazards, but that also bring opportunities for hydropower or water resources.

Climatic Conditions in the Central Part of the Kashmir Valley During the Pleistocene–Holocene Transition: Insights from Lithostratigraphy, Geochemical Analyses, and Radiocarbon Chronology of Palaeosol Sequences

Atmosphere
The Kashmir Valley, characterized by its rich loess–palaeosol sequences (LPSs), provides a unique geo-archive for reconstructing Late Quaternary climate dynamics.

Fallacy of paleoproductivity signals by the recycled biogenic components: case study in the Central Basin of the northwestern Ross Sea

Geoscience Letters
Core LC42, retrieved from the Central Basin of the northwestern Ross Sea, contains three distinct sediment facies (IRD (ice-rafted debris)-poor bioturbated sandy mud, IRD-rich massive sandy mud, and laminated mud) that are interleaved with each other and

Evidence for the former existence of a thicker ice sheet on the Vestfjella nunataks in western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1996
Vestfjella (73-74°S, 13-16°W) is a 130 km long nunatak range in western Dronning Maud Land in East Antarctica, and its northern and southern ends are situated close to the present ice sheet grounding-line.
