Land snail successions in the lower Rhône valley allow us to reconstruct the postglacial recolonization. From the Lateglacial period onwards, Mediterranean steppe communities appeared. The arrival of forest taxa was significantly delayed by aridity. The question of glacial refugia, both local and distant, primarily concerned Mediterranean species of ...

Glaciology Data Report, Casey 1981
Progress Code: completedA collection of the data from the 1981 Glaciology program at Casey, collected from several inland traverses. Measurements include accumulation and density, barometric profiling, ice movement, gravity, ice thickness and bedrock ...

A detailed morphometric analysis of 200 cirques across the western Putorana Plateau, central Siberia, was undertaken to investigate cirque development, reconstruct glaciers and infer palaeoclimatic conditions. Cirques are amphitheatre‐shaped landforms with mean length and widths of 936 and 1000 m, respectively, indicating a mature glacial landscape ...

For whom and by whom is glaciology?
Glacier and ice sheet research is frequently justified on the basis of potential benefits to those communities that are most vulnerable to glacier change.

After the end of World War II glaciology entered a new golden age, which has yet to end. The quality of this golden age is comparable to the classic period of the nineteenth century.

A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is

ABSTRACT Ice shelves are floating seaward extensions of glaciers that form where land‐based ice flows into the ocean. Recent observations suggest that their mechanical behavior is suitably described by a viscoelastic Maxwell model, as this framework captures both the instantaneous elastic response and the time‐dependent viscous flow of ice.

Hidden subsurface suspended sediment export from Greenland's marine‐terminating glaciers
Abstract Runoff and calved ice volumes from the Greenland Ice Sheet are well constrained, but quantifying the associated suspended sediment flux remains challenging. Here we present near‐terminus observations from three glacierized fjords in southeast Greenland, combining full‐depth turbidity profiles and current velocity from summer 2024 to evaluate ...
