Periglacial landforms and the geological controlling factors: examples from the highest mountains of the Balkan Peninsula [PDF]
Journal of the Bulgarian Geographical Society, 2021 Periglacial landforms are typical features of the high mountain environment on the Balkan Peninsula. Their formation and diversity is determined by climatic, topographic and geological factors. Presently active periglacial processes occur above 1700-2000

Detecting upland glaciation in Earth’s pre-Pleistocene record
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Earth has sustained continental glaciation several times in its past. Because continental glaciers ground to low elevations, sedimentary records of ice contact can be preserved from regions that were below base level, or subject to subsidence.

Advances in mapping ice-free surfaces within the Northern Antarctic peninsula region using polarimetric RADARSAT-2 data [PDF]
, 2018 Ice-free areas within the Northern Antarctic Peninsula region are of interest for studying changes occurring to surface covers, including those related to glacial coverage, raised beach deposits and periglacial processes and permafrost. The objective

Organic-matter quality of deep permafrost carbon – a study from Arctic Siberia [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 The organic-carbon (OC) pool accumulated in Arctic permafrost (perennially frozen ground) equals the carbon stored in the modern atmosphere. To give an idea of how Yedoma region permafrost could respond under future climatic warming, we conducted a study
