Retrospective Modeling of a Large Paleo-Landslide Related to Deglaciation in the Sierra de Urbión, Cordillera Ibérica, Spain

Applied Sciences, 2021
Through a study of glacial geomorphology and retrospective modeling of the stability of the slopes, it has been possible to reconstruct and know the mechanism of the formation of a large landslide induced by the retreat of the glacier corresponding to ...

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

The traces of the last pleistocene glacial maximum in the eastern Kamnik-Savinja Alps

Dela, 2017
The area of the eastern Kamnik-Savinja Alps was glaciated in the time of the Last Pleistocene Glacial Maximum (LGM). The glacial landforms mentioned by the previous researchers and other landforms in the area were examined, gemorphologically mapped ...

Glacial geomorphology of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet (44–46 °S)

Journal of Maps, 2021
We map the glacial geomorphology of the former Patagonian Ice Sheet between 44°S and 46°S. Building on previous work, our map covers a ∼50,000 km2 region of west-central Patagonia.

Mesozoic–Cenozoic Thermochronology of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan System, NW China

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Tectonothermal history of the Tarim–Southern Tianshan system compared with the major tectonic events at far‐field plate margins. ABSTRACT The Tarim Basin, an oil‐bearing basin in northwest China, is tectonically and sedimentologically linked to the Southern Tianshan Orogenic Belt.

The glacial geomorphology of western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica

Journal of Maps, 2020
Reconstructing the response of present-day ice sheets to past global climate change is important for constraining and refining the numerical models which forecast future contributions of these ice sheets to sea-level change.

Reconstruction of pre-Illinoian ice margins and glaciotectonic structures from airborne ElectroMagnetic (AEM) surveys at the western limit of Laurentide glaciation, Midcontinent U.S.A.

Quaternary Science Advances, 2021
Early and early Middle Pleistocene glaciations in midcontinental USA are poorly understood relative to more recent Illinoian and Wisconsinan glaciations, largely because pre-Illinoian glacial landforms and deposits are eroded and buried.

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

Hydraulic reconstruction of catastrophic drainage from the Late Glacial, Lake Fraser, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial Lake Fraser, which formed in British Columbia against the retreating Cordilleran Ice Sheet, stored ~520 km3 of water before its near‐total drainage into the Salish Sea during an outburst flood event. Despite the impact of the outburst flood on sediment transport and landscape evolution in the Fraser River valley, its peak discharge and
