Palaeowinds and depositional conditions from Holocene loess in Sweden and Finland

Boreas, EarlyView.
The nature of deglacial and Holocene wind regimes in Fennoscandia is debated, as is the degree to which wind‐blown loess deposits exist in the region. Loess deposits in Fennoscandia are often relatively thin, discontinuous and less well‐sorted than typical loess, and questions remain over the degree of their post‐depositional reworking and the impact ...

Snow cover as a morphogenic agent determining ground climate, landforms and runoff in the Valdecebollas massif, Cantabrian Mountains

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020
Snowfalls are important meteorological events affecting the physical environment of the Cantabrian Mountains. This work analyzes the effects of snow on several elements such as relief, landforms, ground climate and snowmelt waters.

Influence of Geomorphic Disturbance on Phenotypic Species Plasticity and Vegetation Cover in High‐Elevated Belts

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Climate change increases geomorphological disturbances, which in turn affect vegetation establishment in high‐elevation areas; understanding species' responses to such disturbances is essential. We analysed vegetation across disturbed and undisturbed alpine sites to identify environmental drivers and assess species trait plasticity.

Reconstructing human‐induced geomorphic changes through historical maps and multitemporal remote sensing data in the Cancano–San Giacomo di Fraele reservoirs (Central Alps, Italy)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Reconstructing ~200 years of landscape change at the Cancano–San Giacomo hydroelectric system (Central Alps), we integrate historical cartography, archival photographs, multitemporal aerial/satellite imagery and field validation to map pre‐ and post‐impoundment landforms.

Geomorphology of Stansbury Peninsula, Nelson Island, Antarctic Peninsula

Journal of Maps
The proglacial landscapes of Antarctica offer critical insights into past and ongoing deglaciation processes and the impacts of climate change. This study presents the first geomorphological map of the proglacial part of Stansbury Peninsula (Rip Point ...

Revealing the Internal Structure of Mars‐Analog Glaciers From Drone‐Based Radar Sounding

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Martian debris‐covered glaciers (DCGs) contain large quantities of water ice beneath a protective layer of rock and dust. Properties of the overlying regolith such as density and depth to ice are critical parameters for guiding in situ resource utilization (ISRU) of water and coring missions targeting potential habitats.

Pleistocene Smoothing and Resurfacing of Appalachian Ridgelines by Periglaciation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 4, 28 February 2026.
Abstract Pleistocene cold periods created widespread periglacial conditions across mid‐latitudes, but isolating their geomorphic impact from modern climate, tectonics, and rock strength is challenging. We studied Appalachian (Eastern U.S.) ridgelines across a paleoclimate gradient, controlling for bedrock and structure, to test if colder periglacial ...

Expanding cryospheric landform inventories – quantitative approaches for underestimated periglacial block- and talus slopes in the Dry Andes of Argentina

Frontiers in Earth Science
There is a clear spatial discrepancy between the area potentially underlain by permafrost and the landforms recorded in the national inventory of cryospheric landforms in the Dry Andes of Argentina (∼22°–35°S).

Investigation on protalus ramparts in the Swiss Alps [PDF]

Geographica Helvetica, 2015
The origin and classification of landforms denominated as "protalus ramparts" in the scientific literature is a problem that is far from being resolved.

The Extent of Glaciation in the Pechora Sea, Eurasian Arctic, Based on Submarine Glacial Landforms

Geosciences, 2023
The Pechora Sea is optimally located for studying the coalescence of a glacial and periglacial continental shelf zone in the high Arctic. Here, we present data acquired during cruises of the RV Akademik Nikolaj Strakhov in 2018–2021, revealing the ...
