Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over

Multi-source deep-learning approach for automatic geomorphological mapping: the case of glacial moraines

Geo-spatial Information Science
Landform mapping is the initial step of many geomorphological analyses (e.g. assessment of natural hazards and natural resources) and requires vast resources to be applied to wide areas at high-resolution.

Glacier variations in the European Alps at the end of the last glaciation

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2015
The Last Glacial Maximum in the Alps lasted from approximately 30 to 19 ka. Glaciers reached out onto the forelands on both sides of the main Alpine chains, forming piedmont lobes in the north and filling the Italian amphitheatres to the south.

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Structure of end moraines and dynamics of the recession phase of the Warta Stadial ice sheet, Kłodawa Upland, Central Poland

Open Geosciences, 2020
The occurrence of end moraines reflects the dynamics of an ice sheet, and their inner structure is determined by processes taking place in marginal zones.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Zur Problematik der pleistozänen und holozänen Vergletschernung Süd-Kamtschatkas – erste Ergebnisse bodengeographischer Untersuchungen [PDF]

Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 1996
In the Plotnikova Valley, west of Petropavlovsk in South Kamchatka, two valley drift complexes can be identified. They are correlated with glaciofluvial terraces. The older, so called M1-moraines descend to about 300 m a.s.l.

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

Boreas, EarlyView.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

Palaeoglaciations in the Polar and Subpolar Ural Mountains

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Ural Mountains form a major physiographic boundary between the East European Plain and West Siberia, both repeatedly glaciated during the Pleistocene by the Barents–Kara ice sheet. Although the present‐day topography reflects significant glacial modification, the extent, chronology and interaction of mountain glaciers with the Barents–Kara ice ...

Glaciers of Avacha group of volcanoes in Neoholocene

Лëд и снег, 2016
The study of moraines at the Avacha volcano group revealed that glaciers changes at all volcanoes within the group happened almost synchronously.
