Glacial geomorphology of the Great Glen Region of Scotland [PDF]

Journal of Maps, 2013
This paper presents a detailed glacial Main Map of the Great Glen region of Scotland, UK, covering an area of over 6800 km2 extending from 56°34′7″ to 57°41′1″ N and from 3°44′2″ to 5°33′24″ W. This represents the first extensive mapping of the glacial geomorphology of the Great Glen and builds upon previous studies that conducted localised field ...

New Schmidt hammer exposure‐age dating calibrations for the Last Glacial Termination in NW Scotland: Development and application to undated Torridon Group sandstone surfaces in Wester Ross

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An understanding of the terrestrial extent, retreat dynamics and climate–glacier coupling of ice masses during the Last Glacial Termination (LGT, ~18–11 ka) is often limited by a fragmentary geomorphological record and is dependent on precise, accurate and robust dating frameworks.

The glacial geomorphology of the Antarctic ice sheet bed [PDF]

Antarctic Science, 2014
AbstractIn 1976, David Sugden and Brian John developed a classification for Antarctic landscapes of glacial erosion based upon exposed and eroded coastal topography, providing insight into the past glacial dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheets. We extend this classification to cover the continental interior of Antarctica by analysing the hypsometry of ...

Glacial geomorphology of Teesdale, northern Pennines, England: Implications for upland styles of ice stream operation and deglaciation in the British-Irish Ice Sheet

Proceedings of the Geologists' Association, 2018
The glacial geomorphology of Teesdale and the North Pennines uplands is analysed in order to decipher: a) the operation of easterly flowing palaeo-ice streams in the British-Irish Ice Sheet; and b) the style of regional deglaciation.

Burrow use by Saharan striped polecat (Poecilictis libyca) in an agricultural area of central Tunisia

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.

Glacial geomorphology of northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Maps
During the regional Last Glacial Maximum, the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS) enveloped coastal British Columbia, Canada spreading across parts of the adjacent continental shelf influencing subsequent postglacial ecosystem development and the dispersal of ...

Equifinality in glacial geomorphology: instability theory examined via ribbed moraine and drumlins in Sweden

, 2018
A contemporary trend in glacial geomorphology is the quest for a unifying theory of drumlin and ribbed moraine formation. Three Swedish example areas of each are here newly mapped, using high-resolution Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) data.

Ditch‐Buried Straw Return Improves Soil Physical Quality and Crop Biomass in Two Rice–Wheat Paddy Soil Systems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ditch‐buried straw return (DB) is an innovative practice combining deep tillage and straw incorporation. This study aimed to evaluate its effects on soil physical quality compared to rotary tillage (RT) and identified key constraints to crop in sandy‐loam and clay‐loam paddy soils within rice–wheat systems. Two field experiments were conducted
