Glacial geomorphology of the Gaick, Central Grampians, Scotland

Journal of Maps, 2019
The Gaick is an enigmatic glaciated landscape in the Central Grampians, Scotland, dominated by an expansive dissected plateau. Previous studies have postulated widely differing interpretations of the glacial landforms and current understanding of the ...

Characteristics of the deforming bed: till properties on the deglaciated Antarctic continental shelf

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
Contemporary ice stream flow is directly linked to conditions at the ice/bed interface, yet this environment is logistically difficult to access.

Dark Heritage Prospection ‐ Mapping the Treblinka II Extermination Camp Using a Magnetometer Survey and Integrated Archival Sources

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The history of Nazi German extermination camps has, until recently, relied primarily on eyewitness testimony. Very few official documents detailing the facilities survived the war due to the special operation ‘Sonderaktion 1005’, dedicated to hiding their existence and extent.

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.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

New Perspectives on Glacial Geomorphology in Earth’s Deep Time Record

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The deep time (pre-Quaternary) glacial record is an important means to understand the growth, development, and recession of the global cryosphere on very long timescales (106–108 Myr).

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Application data base paleogeographic Kola peninsula «Q-KOLA» in paleolimnological research

Transactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2015
The paleogeographic database “Q-KOLA” was created to systematize, statistically analyze and visualize information about the history of the natural ecosystems of the Kola Peninsula in the Late Glacial and Holocene. The database can be used in limnological
