Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance
, 2012 A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Fires are expanding in frequency and intensity worldwide due to climate change and land‐use transformations. At the same time, fire often plays a regenerative role in ecosystems. Traditional and cultural practices incorporate fire use for landscape management and landscape renewal. In this complex matrix of fire ecologies, digital technologies

TPRoGI: a comprehensive rock glacier inventory for the Tibetan Plateau using deep learning [PDF]
Earth System Science DataRock glaciers – periglacial landforms commonly found in high-mountain systems – are of significant scientific value for inferring the presence of permafrost, understanding mountain hydrology, and assessing climate impacts on high-mountain environments ...

The glacier of the Leonese Cantabrian Mountains
, 2022 [EN] The Montes de León are located in the northwest part of the Iberian Peninsula. They extend approximately 65 km, from the Sil River (Min˜o-Sil Basin) in the west, to the Orbigo River (Douro Basin) to the east. They consist of two main alignments: the northernmost, in a north-northwest to south-south-east direction, is formed by the Aquilanos ...

Permafrost Distribution in the Canadian Rockies: Key Variables Influencing Patch‐Scale Variability
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of permafrost in mountainous regions is influenced by various factors such as topography, climate, vegetation, and substrate. Despite the existence of comprehensive permafrost maps at national and global levels, they fail to accurately represent the patch‐scale (e.g., < 25 m) permafrost distribution in characteristic ...

Mountain glaciers caught on camera
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2011 Many glaciers around the world are melting, and new research is showing some of the dramatic details. Ulyana Horodyskyj, a graduate student at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), University of Colorado at Boulder, set up cameras to take time‐lapse photographs of three lakes on a glacier in Nepal.

Assessing the catastrophic break-up of Briksdalsbreen, Norway, associated with rapid climate change
, 2011 Recent research has raised concerns about the potential influence of rapid climate change on the stability of major ice sheets. The behaviour of glaciers is determined largely by the processes and conditions operating at their base.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

, 2015 In recent decades, the downwasting of several debris-covered glaciers in the Himalaya has led to the formation of large and potentially hazardous moraine- dammed lakes.
