Pre-late Devensian high-arctic marine deposits in SW Scotland [PDF]
, 2010 We present new interpretations of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and marine fossils collected from three sites on the Rhins of Galloway which, contrary to recent proposals, suggest that the landforms and deposits of the region do not represent ...

The glacial geomorphology of upper Godthåbsfjord (Nuup Kangerlua) in southwest Greenland
Journal of Maps, 2018 The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is known to have experienced widespread retreat over the last century. Information on outlet glacier dynamics, prior to this, are limited due to both a lack of observations and a paucity of mapped or mappable deglacial ...

Earliest Holocene south Greenland ice sheet retreat within its late Holocene extent [PDF]
, 2014 Early Holocene summer warmth drove dramatic Greenland ice sheet (GIS) retreat. Subsequent insolation-driven cooling caused GIS margin readvance to late Holocene maxima, from which ice margins are now retreating.

Relating in situ hydraulic conductivity, particle size and relative density of superficial deposits in a heterogeneous catchment [PDF]
, 2012 Estimating the permeability of superficial deposits is fundamental to many aspects of catchment science, but can be problematic where insufficient in situ measurements are available from pumping tests in piezometers.

Coupled climate-glacier modelling of the last glaciation in the Alps
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Our limited knowledge of the climate prevailing over Europe during former glaciations is the main obstacle to reconstruct the past evolution of the ice coverage over the Alps by numerical modelling.

Influence of soil properties on archaeal diversity and distribution in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2014 Archaea are the least understood members of the microbial community in Antarctic mineral soils. Although their occurrence in Antarctic coastal soils has been previously documented, little is known about their distribution in soils across the McMurdo Dry ...

The Idre marginal moraine – An anchorpoint for Middle and Late Weichselian ice sheet chronology
Quaternary Science Advances, 2020 We here report the results of luminescence and cosmogenic exposure dating of the Idre marginal moraine, located in the southern Scandinavian Mountains. This particular moraine is targeted because it is morphologically distinct and marks the margin of a ...

The sedimentological death mask of a dying glacier
The Depositional Record, 2022 The Pasterze is Austria's largest glacier, and it is experiencing rapid downwasting and retreat. A mosaic of complex sedimentary deposits has been produced in recent years which have not hitherto been studied, yet provide excellent lessons into the ...
