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 ...

Glaciokarst landforms in the Siera de los Grajos, Babia and Luna natural park (Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain)

Acta Carsologica, 2017
Landforms resulting from the interaction between paleo-glaciers and karst are studied by using the Sierra de los Grajos (Cantabrian Mountains) as a model.

Assessing the Performance of the Copernicus European Regional Reanalysis Dataset in Reproducing Extreme Weather Events in Poland

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Global reanalyses, for example ERA5 and ERA5‐Land, tend to misrepresent the local‐scale weather extremes due to the limited spatial resolution. In this paper CERRA shows clear and consistent improvements over ERA5 and ERA5‐Land in representing extreme temperature and precipitation in Poland, particularly for localized and short‐lived heavy rainfall ...

Leveraging vision transformer architectures for glacial and fluvio-glacial landform classification

International Journal of Digital Earth
The study of glacial and fluvio-glacial landforms is essential for understanding the geological history of the Earth. The first step for geomorphologists during their research is the classification of those landforms traditionally performed through ...

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

The De Long Trough: a newly discovered glacial trough on the East Siberian continental margin [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2017
Ice sheets extending over parts of the East Siberian continental shelf have been proposed for the last glacial period and during the larger Pleistocene glaciations.

Geochronological reconstruction of the Lateglacial deglaciation in the Arve Valley (Northern French Alps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

River Response to Melting Cryosphere Since Late Quaternary in the Pir Panjal Range of NW Himalaya

Frontiers in Water, 2022
Rambiara River basin, a sub-basin of the Upper Indus, is dotted with fluvial and glacial geomorphic landforms. The presence of large number of glacial landforms like moraines, cirques, aretes, U-shaped valleys, etc. reflects the enormous erosive power of

Decoupling glacier retreat and surface stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (Slovenia), insights from in situ cosmogenic 36Cl exposure and depth‐profile ages

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Integrating Multiple Approaches to Reveal the Spatiotemporal Pattern of Soil Erosion in Mollisol Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although numerous prediction methods have been developed, scientific estimation of the spatiotemporal pattern of soil erosion at the watershed scale remains challenging. In this study, fallout radionuclides of 210Pbex and 137Cs were used to estimate average annual soil erosion and deposition in a Mollisol watershed in Northeast China ...
