Contrasting Patterns of the Bacterial Communities in Melting Ponds and Periglacial Rivers of the Zhuxi glacier in the Tibet Plateau

Microorganisms, 2020
Since the early 21st century, global climate change has been inducing rapid glacier retreat at an unprecedented rate. In this context, the melt ponds impart increasing unique footprints on the periglacial rivers due to their hydrodynamic connection ...

Assessing Causal Drivers of Diurnal Streamflow Fluctuations Using Convergent Cross Mapping

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
The aim of this study was to quantify how causal effects (i.e., the influence of one driver on another) among evapotranspiration, riparian soil moisture, and riparian water viscosity induce diurnal streamflow fluctuations. By applying convergent cross mapping (CCM), a causal detection method, we show that evapotranspiration, riparian soil moisture, and

Insights into Red Deer Ecology during the Late Epigravettian: New isotopic evidence from Riparo Tagliente (Italian Prealps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 716-731, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Late Glacial marked a shift from the cold conditions of Greenland Stadial‐2 (GS‐2) to the warmer phases of Greenland Interstadial‐1 (GI‐1), enabling the reoccupation of Alpine regions by Late Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers.

Postglacial talus slope development imaged by the ERT method: comparison of slopes from SW Spitsbergen, Norway and Tatra Mountains, Poland

Open Geosciences, 2019
Talus slopes are a common sedimentary formation both in polar and high-mountain areas, but their development is still not sufficiently understood. This article discusses the environmental factors that have been influencing development of talus slopes ...

Permafrost Distribution in the Canadian Rockies: Key Variables Influencing Patch‐Scale Variability

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 372-390, July/September 2026.
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 ...

An inventory of rock glaciers in the central British Columbia Coast Mountains, Canada, from high resolution Google Earth imagery

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2018
Little is known about the presence, distribution, age, or activity of rock glaciers in the British Columbia Coast Mountains of western Canada. Reflecting debris accumulation and mass wasting under a periglacial climate, these rock glaciers describe a ...

Rapid regional assessment of rock glacier activity based on DInSAR wrapped-phase signal [PDF]

The Cryosphere
Alpine periglacial landforms like rock glaciers and protalus ramparts are key indicators of the state of permafrost. They are characterized by complex deformation mechanisms and temporal trends, possibly evolving towards destabilization.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 391-415, July/September 2026.
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

Cryogenic fracturing of calcite flowstone in caves: theoretical considerations and field observations in Kents Cavern, Devon, UK

International Journal of Speleology, 2012
Several caves in Devon, England, have been noted for extensive cracking of substantial flowstone floors. Conjectural explanations have included earthquake damage, local shock damage from collapsing cave passages, hydraulic pressure, and cryogenic ...

Deciphering Freeze–Thaw Dynamics In Rockwalls: A Novel Approach for High Accuracy Regional‐Scale Modeling

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 430-448, July/September 2026.
ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.
