The geographical interest of historical documents to interpret the scientific evolution of the glacier existing in the Veleta cirque (Sierra Nevada, Spain) during the Little Ice Age

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2018
Historical documents have shown their potential to infer the origin and evolution of the glacier existing in the Veleta cirque, in the massif of Sierra Nevada (Spain).

Late Weichselian periglacial features in south-eastern Finland and the surroundings of Lake Ladoga in Russia [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1995
Ice-wedge casts recorded from the Salpausselkä moraines in south-eastern Finland show that there was permafrost in this zone at the time of the Younger Dryas Stadial.

Viscous creep of ice-rich permafrost debris in a recently uncovered proglacial area in the Tianshan Mountains, China

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2022
Since the Little Ice Age and as a consequence of climate warming, many recently deglaciated forefields have become and will continue to evolve into large ice-debris complexes exposed to periglacial processes and environment.

Spatial and temporal distribution of glaciers, debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers during the last deglaciation in the Valley of the Bonaigua (Central Pyrenees)

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020
The application of the paleogeographic method to the study of glacial landforms and rock glaciers allows their morphometric and sedimentological characterization, the establishment of a detailed morphostratigraphic sequence and a chronological proposal ...

Southern Carpathian Periglaciation in Transition: The Role of Ground Thermal Regimes in a Warming Climate

Land
This study examines ground surface and air temperatures and their implications for periglacial activity in the Țarcu Massif, Southern Carpathians, where data on current dynamics and climate responses remain scarce despite widespread periglacial landforms.

Detection of Winter Heat Wave Impact on Surface Runoff in a Periglacial Environment (Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard)

Remote Sensing, 2023
The occurrence of extreme warm events in the Arctic has been increasing in recent years in terms of their frequency and intensity. The assessment of the impact of these episodes on the snow season requires further observation capabilities, where spatial ...

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

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
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.

Periglaciology: Review and Discussion of Modern Concepts and its Relation to the Research in Poland

Quaestiones Geographicae
This paper describes the foundations of the periglacial concept beginning from the introduction of this term by Łoziński in 1909 and 1912. Its etymology along with the meaning and definitions that change over time are analysed in the present paper ...

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 ...

Thermal contraction crack networks as evidence for Late-Pleistocene permafrost in Inner Mongolia

, 2004
Numerous wedges on the Ordos Plateau show typical characteristics of periglacial sand wedges that enable them to be distinguished from desiccation cracks in clayey illuviation soil horizons.
