Palaeoglacier reconstruction and dynamics of Cordillera Vilcanota in the tropical high Peruvian Andes

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
We provide a geomorphological analysis of Cordillera Vilcanota and use morphostratigraphic principles to reconstruct palaeo icefield extent and palaeoglacier readvances, likely during the Antarctic Cold Reversal and Younger Dryas. We find evidence of temperate and polythermal ice margins, with limited glaciofluvial landform generation.

High-Resolution Detection of Periglacial Landforms Deformation Using Radarsat-2 and GF-7 Stereo Optical Imagery

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
In cold mountain environments, rock glaciers and talus represent common periglacial landforms. Accurate monitoring of their activity is crucial for understanding alpine kinematics.

Geomorphology of the Sierra del Aramo (Asturian Central Massif, Cantabrian Mountains, NW Spain)

Journal of Maps, 2019
A detailed geomorphological map of the Sierra del Aramo (Asturian Central Massif) is presented at a scale of 1:25,000. The Sierra del Aramo is one of the major middle-altitude mountains of the Asturian Central Massif (maximum altitude 1,791 m a.s.l ...

Soft‐bedded ice sheet in hummocky terrain of north‐central Poland: Origin of rim ridges and subglacial processes

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 2, Page 540-559, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Hummocky terrains are characterised by various geomorphological features that typically record processes associated with the downwasting of ice sheets. Common landforms in these areas include ramparts, linear ridges, kettle holes and ice‐walled lake plains.

Héðinsdalsjökull, northern Iceland: geomorphology recording the recent complex evolution of a glacier

Journal of Maps, 2021
The objective of this work is to conduct a detailed mapping of the Héðinsdalsjökull foreland, northern Iceland (65°39′N, 18°55′W). This cirque currently shows a variety of glacial and periglacial landforms derived from a complex deglaciation. Mapping was

A Return to Chalosse Cherts: An Integrated Approach Based on Field Survey, Petrography and Geochemical Analysis to Understand a Palaeolithic Tracer

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pyrenees have been considered a natural barrier for prehistoric populations. However, in recent years, Palaeolithic research has established connections between the two sides through the analysis of cherts. Among others, the presence of Chalosse cherts in sites on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees has proven the mobility of objects and ...

Ground Temperature Monitoring During the Period 2004–2024 Indicates Permafrost Degradation in the Austrian Alps

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 37-59, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Long‐term time series on changes in the cryosphere are becoming increasingly important. This study presents data from 20 years of ground temperature monitoring from the eastern‐most confirmed permafrost site in the European Alps (Hochreichart, Austria) spanning the period 2004–2024.

Holocene Glacial–Paraglacial–Periglacial Transitions of a Sub‐Arctic Glacial Cirque, Fremri‐Grasárdalur, Northern Iceland

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 78-106, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to study a variety of glacial, periglacial and paraglacial features found in a small cirque, Fremri‐Grasárdalur, in Tröllaskagi (Northern Iceland). We implement a multidisciplinary approach combining high‐resolution geomorphological mapping, horizontal/vertical boulder displacement (from 1994 to 2019) and surface ...

Mapping Earth Hummocks in Daisetsuzan National Park in Japan Using UAV-SfM Framework

Remote Sensing
Earth hummocks are periglacial landforms that are widely distributed in arctic and alpine regions. This study employed an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) and a structure from motion (SfM) framework to map and analyze the spatial distribution and ...
