Sediment behavior controls equilibrium width of subglacial channels
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 Flow-frictional resistance at the base of glaciers and ice sheets is strongly linked to subglacial water pressure. Understanding the physical mechanisms that govern meltwater fluxes in subglacial channels is hence critical for constraining variations in ...

Anomalous luminescence of subglacial sediment at Haut glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland - a consequence of resetting at the glacier bed? [PDF]
, 2010 <p>Luminescence has the potential to elucidate glacial geomorphic processes because primary glacial sediment sources and transport pathways are associated with contrasting degrees of exposure to light.

Lithostratotypes for Weichselian and pre-Weichselian sediments in southern and western Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1990 In this paper we define stratotypes for glacial and associated sediments in southern and western Finland. The Kauhajoki Formation in southern Ostrobothnia (Pohjanmaa) and the Kela Formation in western Uusimaa, comprise a complex sequence of sediments ...

The engineering properties of glacial tills [PDF]
Geotechnical Research, 2018 Glacial tills are a product of the glacial processes of erosion, transportation and deposition and could have been subjected to several glacial cycles and periglacial processes to the extent that they are complex, hazardous soils that are spatially variable in composition, structure, fabric and properties, making them very difficult to sample, test and

Mid-Miocene cooling and the extinction of tundra in continental Antarctica [PDF]
, 2008 A major obstacle in understanding the evolution of Cenozoic climate has been the lack of well dated terrestrial evidence from high-latitude, glaciated regions.

Lithological discontinuity in Glossic Planosols (Albeluvisols) of Lower Silesia (SW Poland)
Soil Science Annual, 2015 The paper focuses on Glossic Planosols (formerly Albeluvisols) with sandy topsoil widely represented in the northeastern part of Lower Silesia (SW Poland), in the range of tills from the Odra and Warta glaciations (Riss glaciation).

Petrographical Analysis of Warthian Fuvioglacial Gravels as a Tool to Trace the Source Area – A Case Study From Central Poland [PDF]
, 2014 The petrographical features of the medium- and coarse-grained gravels (4-10 mm and 20-60 mm, respectively) of weathered and fresh (unweathered) deposits indicate, in combination with so-called indicator and statistical erratics, that two glacial lobes ...
