Soils of western Wright Valley, Antarctica
, 2009 Western Wright Valley, from Wright Upper Glacier to the western end of the Dais, can be divided into three broad geomorphic regions: the elevated Labyrinth, the narrow Dais which is connected to the Labyrinth, and the North and South forks which are ...

A review of topographic controls on moraine distribution [PDF]
, 2014 Ice-marginal moraines are often used to reconstruct the dimensions of former ice masses, which are then used as proxies for palaeoclimate. This approach relies on the assumption that the distribution of moraines in the modern landscape is an accurate ...

Automated detection of basal icequakes and discrimination from surface crevassing
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Icequakes at or near the bed of a glacier have the potential to allow us to investigate the interaction of ice with the underlying till or bedrock. Understanding this interaction is important for studying basal sliding of glaciers and ice streams, a ...

Dynamics and related hazards of the Belvedere Glacier in the Italian Alps: a review
Acta Universitatis Carolinae GeographicaThe Belvedere glacier is an intensively studied glacier in the Italian Alps on the east face of the Monte Rosa, which is currently undergoing a fast deglaciation connected to various slope failures and Glacial Lake Outburst Floods.

Spring-water temperature suggests widespread occurrence of Alpine permafrost in pseudo-relict rock glaciers [PDF]
The CryosphereRunoff originating from ground ice contained in rock glaciers represents a significant water supply for lowlands. Pseudo-relict rock glaciers contain patchy permafrost but appear to be relict, and therefore they can be misinterpreted when using standard ...

Changing climate and rising seas: understanding the science [PDF]
, 2014 An investigation of what is causing climate change and one of its major impacts – the rising level of the sea. Introduction The level of the sea is constantly changing everywhere on Earth as tides rise and fall in predictable patterns.
