The glacial origins of relict ‘pingos’, Wales, UK

Annals of Glaciology, 2019
Ramparted depressions (doughnut-shaped debris-cored ridges with peat- and/or sediment-filled central basins) are commonly perceived to represent the relict collapsed forms of permafrost ground-ice mounds (i.e. pingos or lithalsas).

Morphology of Antarctic Polygons and Implications for Polygon Evolution and Subsurface Ice Dynamics

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 143-153, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Polygonal terrain results from thermal contraction, is commonly found in periglacial environments, and serves as a valuable proxy for interpreting subsurface ice distribution and climate history on Earth and Mars. In this study, we investigate the morphology of polygons in Beacon Valley, Antarctica, to assess the relationship between polygon ...

The Hickory Run Boulder Field, Carbon County, Pennsylvania, USA: Morphology, sedimentology and development

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
Relative weathering indices and three‐dimensional fabric analyses demonstrate allochthonous emplacement of the Hickory Run Boulder Field via periglacial mass movement. Spatially coherent trends confirm a time‐transgressive surface formed under Pleistocene permafrost conditions, with tributary‐like integration of clasts from a secondary boulder field ...

Headwater drainage evolution in a foreland basin system using surfaces and topographic metrics (Zadorra River, Upper Ebro, Spain)

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
Headwater drainage evolution in the Ebro foreland basin system from N Spain, including the Zadorra River drainage system and its relationships with the Arakil River. Abstract Foreland basins are elongate depressions that develop around the flanks of collisional mountain ranges.

Rapid mass movements triggered by an atmospheric river in Disko Island, West Greenland

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
In early July 2023, a series of rapid mass movements was triggered by extreme precipitation carried by an atmospheric river in Disko Island, West Greenland. During 18 h total precipitation reached up to 115 mm, causing more than 150 slushflows in different areas of the island and substantial damage to some infrastructure close to the Qeqertarsuaq ...

Desert pavements: A hidden key to Earth surface processes

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 15, December 2025.
Desert pavements are a global phenomenon in arid environments, representing one of the most extensive geomorphological and geoecological features on Earth. To a large extent, they determine the interplay of key processes governing current and past landscape dynamics.

Climatic controls on soil production, transport and chemical erosion: Insights from modelling topography, soils and cosmogenic nuclides at Little Lake, Oregon

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 14, November 2025.
We conducted landscape evolution model simulations with climate‐sensitive hillslope soil transport, soil production and mineral dissolution/alteration while tracking a 10Be tracer. We incorporated sub‐models for frost heaving and frost cracking. In our reference simulation where temperature controlled processes and a lake provided a new base level ...

Glacial geomorphology of the Gaick, Central Grampians, Scotland

Journal of Maps, 2019
The Gaick is an enigmatic glaciated landscape in the Central Grampians, Scotland, dominated by an expansive dissected plateau. Previous studies have postulated widely differing interpretations of the glacial landforms and current understanding of the ...
