Palaeoglacier reconstruction and dynamics of Cordillera Vilcanota in the tropical high Peruvian Andes

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
We provide a geomorphological analysis of Cordillera Vilcanota and use morphostratigraphic principles to reconstruct palaeo icefield extent and palaeoglacier readvances, likely during the Antarctic Cold Reversal and Younger Dryas. We find evidence of temperate and polythermal ice margins, with limited glaciofluvial landform generation.

Geomorphology of the Évettes alpine glacial landsystem: documenting the legacy of the Little Ice Age in the Western Alps, France

open access: yesJournal of Maps
The end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) in the nineteenth century triggered glacial retreat across the Northern Hemisphere, leaving behind sediment-landform assemblages that preserve records of glacier behavior.

Tectonics as a Regulator of Shoreline Retreat and Rocky Coast Evolution Across Timescales

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Rocky coast morphology is shaped by interactions between wave action, sea level, and tectonics over millennial time scales. However, a clear and quantifiable signature of tectonic uplift on decadal to centennial shoreline retreat rates is outstanding.

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Glacial geomorphology of the south Swedish uplands – focus on the spatial distribution of hummock tracts

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2017
We present the first comprehensive glacial-landform map of the south Swedish uplands (SSU), deglaciated 15–13 ka ago, using one consistent method and dataset; a Light Detection and Ranging-derived digital elevation model.

Quaternary glaciations in Southern Africa? A “moraine” in the Lesotho highland revisited [PDF]

open access: yesEiszeitalter und Gegenwart
Climate records for the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in Southern Africa are scarce, and the glaciation of the highest summits has been controversially discussed.

A Younger Dryas plateau icefield in the Monadhliath, Scotland, and implications for regional palaeoclimate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
A record of Younger Dryas glaciation in Scotland is well established. However, the role of the Monadhliath, a significant plateau area extending over 840 km2 in central Scotland, has never been investigated systematically. We present the first systematic

Regional landform thresholds [PDF]

open access: yes
Remote sensing technology allows us to recognize manifestations of regional thresholds, especially in the spatial characteristics of process agents. For example, a change in river channel pattern over a short distance reflects a threshold alteration in ...

Soil Organic Matter Stabilization by Polyvalent Cations in a Buried Alkaline Soil

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Buried paleosols can store large quantities of organic carbon (C), much of which persists for millennia due to isolation from surface processes that promote decomposition. Subsoil organic matter (SOM) persistence is often enhanced by mineral associations and ionic conditions—particularly high clay content and polyvalent cations—that limit ...
