Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In Ireland, the Nahanagan Stadial (NS) was characterised by cirque glacier, plateau icefield and mountain ice cap expansion and is named after the cirque glacier type‐site of Lough Nahanagan in the Wicklow Mountains. This period is broadly equivalent to the Younger Dryas Stadial and Greenland Stadial‐1 (GS‐1: ~12.9–11.7 ka).

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2018 River corridors exhibit landforms nested within landforms repeatedly down spatial scales. In Pasternack et al. ( ), a new, scale‐independent, hierarchical river classification was developed that uses five landform types to map the domains of a single ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents evidence of glacier surging in the British landform record. We use new high‐resolution multibeam‐echosounder bathymetry data to map the submarine geomorphology of a former tidewater glacier that drained the Skye Icefield, NW Scotland, during the Younger Dryas Stadial (Greenland Stadial 1) ca. 12.9–11.7 ka.

Geoarchaeology and geomorphology of the Metaponto area, Ionian coastal belt, Italy
Journal of Maps, 2020 A 1:28,000-scale geoarchaeological map has been prepared for a large sector of the Ionian coastal belt of the Basilicata region, southern Italy, in order to investigate the relationships between the spatial distribution of archaeological sites of Greek ...

Modelling transverse dunes [PDF]
, 2003 Transverse dunes appear in regions of mainly unidirectional wind and high sand availability. A dune model is extended to two dimensional calculation of the shear stress. It is applied to simulate dynamics and morphology of transverse dunes which seem to reach translational invariance and do not stop growing.

A review of landscape rehabilitation frameworks in ecosystem engineering for mine closure [PDF]
, 2015 Mining causes changes to the environment and rehabilitation is necessary at mine closure. There is a lack of appropriate frameworks for mine site rehabilitation. In most cases, restoring the mine to previous conditions is challenging.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The glaciation of Scotland during the Loch Lomond Stadial (LLS; 12.9–11.7 ka BP) left a distinct and well‐preserved geomorphological signature, permitting detailed reconstructions of former glaciers and palaeoclimatic conditions. However, the extent and style of glaciation in the Southeast Grampians remains poorly constrained.

Global warNing: challenges, threats and opportunities for ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in high altitude habitats [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Aim of this paper is to provide the first comprehensive synthesis about ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) distribution in high altitude habitats. Specifically, the attention is focused on the species assemblages living on the most common ice-related mountain landforms (glaciers, debris-covered glaciers, glacier forelands and rock glaciers) and on ...

Beyond Elevation: New Metrics to Quantify the Relief of Mountains and Surfaces of Any Terrestrial Body [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Elevation has long been the standard for quantifying the relief of mountains and other landforms on Earth and beyond. Nevertheless, elevation has its limitations. By itself, a location's elevation reveals little about its vertical position relative to its surroundings, especially for seabed and extraterrestrial features.
