Revisiting ice-marginal positions north-east of Feldberg, southern Black Forest, south-west Germany [PDF]

Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart
Whilst previous work has successfully reconstructed the evolution of temperatures in the region north of the Alps during the final phase of the Late Pleistocene, precipitation patterns still remain largely unknown.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Late Pleistocene to Holocene glacial, periglacial, and paraglacial geomorphology of the upper Río Limarí basin (30–31° S) in the Andes of central Chile

Journal of Maps
We present a field-based reconstruction of the geomorphology in the Subtropical Andean mountains of the Limarí basin, semiarid central Chile (30–31° S). Fieldwork campaigns and remote-sensing analysis served for detailed geomorphological mapping at four ...

Hard rock landforms generate 130 km ice shelf channels through water focusing in basal corrugations

Nature Communications, 2018
Subglacial landforms, formed by glacial processes operating over long timescales, influence ice dynamics. Here, the authors show how mega-scale landforms at an Antarctic ice stream grounding zone modulate basal water flow, causing extensive channels in ...

The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

Glacial and periglacial geomorphology of the Drang Drung, Haskira, and Pensilungpa glaciers, Trans-Himalayan Ladakh, India

Journal of Maps
Glacial geomorphological mapping is vital for understanding the role of glaciers in shaping landscapes, as well as glacier response to climate change.

Alleviation of phosphorus rather than nitrogen limitation driven by permafrost and landscape effects on Dahurian larch forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Permafrost thaw is reshaping nutrient dynamics in boreal forests, but its impacts on tree nutrient limitation and functional strategies remain poorly understood. Clarifying these responses is crucial for predicting the response of boreal forests to climate change.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Mapping Glacier Forelands Based on UAV BVLOS Operation in Antarctica

Remote Sensing, 2020
The aim of this article is to show geomorphological mapping of remote Antarctic locations using images taken by a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) during the Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. We mapped landform assemblages developed

The Climate Niche Pressure on the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau Predominates the Diversification of Advertisement Calls in Frogs (Leptobrachella)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The diversification of advertisement calls is largely driven by climatic niche differentiation. Our results provide acoustic evidence for studies on ecological speciation in anurans.
