Post-little ice age glacial geomorphology of contrasting topographic settings at Skálafellsjökull, southeast Iceland

Journal of Maps
Glacial geomorphological mapping from the southern margin of Skálafellsjökull, southeast Iceland, depicts a topographically diverse mountainside, influencing glacier dynamics, landform formation and glacier retreat since the Little Ice Age maximum in ...

U–Th and ¹⁰Be constraints on sediment recycling in proglacial settings, Lago Buenos Aires, Patagonia [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics, 2018
The estimation of sediment transfer times remains a challenge to our understanding of sediment budgets and the relationships between erosion and climate.

Distribution of Woody Biomass on the Outwash Plain of a Retreating Glacier in Southern Iceland: Role of Microhabitat and Substrate

Ecologies
The Skaftafellsjökull is an outlet glacier in southern Iceland that has been retreating since 1890. While multiple studies have examined primary succession on the foreland of this glacier, no study has examined the distribution of woody biomass on the ...

Lodge moraines: a common yet underreported end‐moraine type—a review

Boreas
End moraines are formed at glacier ice margins and show the extent of former glaciations. Here in this review article, we use a fourfold genetic classification of end moraines (dump moraines, push moraines, lodge moraines and hummocky end moraines) to ...

New geochronological constraints on Late Pleistocene glaciation in the southern Cadí Massif, SE Pyrenees

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

Across the Arid Diagonal: deglaciation of the western Andean Cordillera in southwest Bolivia and northern Chile

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2017
Here we review published cosmogenic records of glaciation and deglaciation from the western cordillera of the arid subtropical Andes of northern Chile and southwest Bolivia.
