Modelling bedload transport at the network scale in a glacier‐fed Alpine river system

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We adapted the network‐scale sediment transport and connectivity model D‐CASCADE for Alpine environments and applied it to the Sulden/Solda catchment (Italy). For the first time, we validate the model with continuous bedload measurements at the catchment outlet and evaluate the plausibility of bedload dynamics along the river network with field ...

Impacts of glacier retreat, greening, and a changing sediment supply on debris flows in contrasting monsoon‐dominated Himalayan climates

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.
We modified the SedCas model to assess how glacier retreat, vegetation growth, and sediment availability and erosion timing affect debris flow activity in Langtang and Mustang, Nepal. Results reveal that landscape change reduces sediment supply and runoff response, making debris flows smaller and less seasonally concentrated under future conditions ...

Distribution of Biological Soil Crusts on a Young Glacial Foreland in Southern Iceland and Their Role in Primary Succession

Land
This work examines the occurrence of biological soil crusts (BSCs) on glacial foreland moraines and their relationship to other vegetative components of the post-glacial landscape.

Early deglaciation history of the southeastern Baffin Island shelf (Eastern Canadian Arctic Archipelago)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 686-701, July 2026.
ABSTRACT During the last glacial period, the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) was the largest terrestrial ice sheet on Earth. Its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum profoundly influenced Earth's geodynamics and surface processes. Investigating the past dynamics of the LIS provides critical insights into how contemporary ice sheets may respond to ...

Deglaciation of the Burren glacio‐karst, western Ireland, during Termination 1: Implications for North Atlantic climate and karstification

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 702-715, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Burren uplands in western Ireland form one of the most extensive and best‐preserved examples of glacio‐karst in Europe. Subsumed by the Irish ice sheet during the Late Pleistocene, granite erratic boulders and in situ silica veins in the limestone bedrock provide a rare opportunity to reconstruct the timing and rate of deglaciation ...

Proglacial lake records of Holocene glacier behaviour and catchment processes in Slettedalen, Northeast Greenland

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 784-802, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Constraining Arctic catchment response to Holocene climate change is vital for understanding future environments. We present detailed sedimentological, geochemical and grain size end‐member analysis of two Holocene (~7.0 ka to present) lake sequences, S1 and S2, close to Zackenberg, Northeast Greenland.

The Glacial Legacy of the Geneva Basin: Morphology and implications of an intricate tunnel valley system revealed from 3D seismic data

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 732-753, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Like other perialpine basins and glaciated margins, the Geneva Basin in SW Switzerland is characterised by buried tunnel valleys, which are elongated incisions widely attributed to subglacial meltwater erosion beneath continental ice sheets. However, an inclusive understanding of the geological control on the evolution of the glacial landscape

Proglacial Lake Drainage Events Drive Fast Grounding Line Advance in a Warming Climate

Geophysical Research Letters
Proglacial lakes along the retreating margin of the Laurentide ice sheet (LIS) significantly influenced the ice sheet's dynamics. This study investigates the interaction between proglacial lake drainage events and ice sheet evolution during deglaciation.
