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

Terrestrial Signature of a Recently-Tidewater Glacier and Adjacent Periglaciation, Windy Glacier (South Shetland Islands, Antarctic)

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Contemporary retreat of glaciers is well visible in the West Antarctic region. The aim of this study is to identify, map and quantify terrestrial glacial and periglacial landforms developed in front of Windy Glacier (Warszawa Icefield, King George Island,

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 ...

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.

Geomorphology and landforms distribution in selected ice-free areas in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctic Northern Peninsula region

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2016
Ice-free areas cover a small percentage of the land in the South Shetland Islands. However, they are significant as they contain ecosystems highly sensitive to environmental changes and are located within a region affected by global warming.
