How have Cretan rivers responded to late Holocene uplift? A multi‐millennial, multi‐catchment field experiment to evaluate the applicability of Schumm and Parker's (1973) complex response model

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 47, Issue 9, Page 2178-2197, July 2022., 2022
Schumm and Parker's (1973) classic experiment demonstrating river ‘complex response’ to baselevel change has provided an enduring model, but its field applicability has rarely been evaluated. In south‐western Crete, a 365 ceearthquake (land uplift up to c. 9 m) enables a multi‐millennial, multi‐catchment field evaluation of the model. Post‐uplift river

Interrogating glacier mass balance response to climatic change since the Little Ice Age: reconstructions for the Jotunheimen region, southern Norway

open access: yesBoreas, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 350-363, April 2022., 2022
Developing a long‐term understanding of the cryosphere is important in the study of past climatic change. Here we used a nested approach combining diverse instrumental (monthly meteorological data from four weather stations, as well as gridded data) and proxy data (based on blue intensity measurements from local tree ring records) to create a ...

The Pamir Frontal Thrust Fault: Holocene Full‐Segment Ruptures and Implications for Complex Segment Interactions in a Continental Collision Zone

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 126, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021
Abstract The Pamir Frontal Thrust (PFT) of the Trans‐Alai Range in Central Asia is the principal active fault of the intracontinental convergence zone between the Pamir and Tien Shan. Its northward propagation is reflected by frequent seismic activity and ongoing crustal shortening.

Topographic and Geologic Controls on Frost Cracking in Alpine Rockwalls

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 126, Issue 6, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Frost weathering is a major control on rockwall erosion in Alpine environments. Previous frost cracking model approaches used air temperatures as a proxy for rock temperatures to drive frost weathering simulations on rockwall and on mountain scale.

Modeling Uncertainties in Lichenometry Studies [PDF]

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2007
ABSTRACT To date glacial and periglacial landforms, lichenometry is a valuable method but, to improve efficiency, the estimated surface dates derived from traditional methods need to be more accurate. In other words, the statistical uncertainty associated with inferred dates has to be reduced.

Application of lichenometry and residual strength test for age estimation of Holocene moraines in the Suntar-Khayata Mountains

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
Residual strength and diameters of lichen Rhizocarpon sp. were measured on different elements of the Late Holocene glacial-cryogenic morphosculpture of frontal parts of glaciers № 29 and 31 in the Suntar-Khayat Range. All in all, 180 lichenometric sites (

History of Alibek Glacier based on Earth remote sensing images, bioindication and cosmogenic isopotes (14С and 10Be)

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2015
In this article we present the reconstruction of fluctuations of Alibek valley glacier situated in the Teberda valley, Western Caucasus. The former positions of glacier of the past 120 years were reconstructed basing on the old photographs of 1904, 1921,

Change of Chalaati Glacier (Georgian Caucasus) since the Little Ice Age based on dendrochronological and Beryllium‑10 data

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2020
Glacier variations over the past centuries are still poorly documented on the southern slope of the Greater Caucasus. In this paper, the change of Chalaati Glacier in the Georgian Caucasus from its maximum extent during the Little Ice Age has been ...

History of the Donguz-Orun Glacier from bioindication, historical, cartographic sources and remote sensing data

open access: yesЛëд и снег, 2018
On the basis of dendrochronological, lichenometric and historical data with the use of Earth remote sensing materials, the evolution of the Donguz-Orun Glacier has been reconstructed over the past centuries.
