The last glaciation of Shetland : local ice cap or invasive ice sheet? [PDF]
, 2014 Issue ISBN: 978-82-92-39488-5 This work is supported by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of ScotlandThe question of whether the Shetland Islands were covered by an ice cap or by an ice sheet during the last glacial cycle (40–10 ka) remains ...

Glacier sliding, seismicity and sediment entrainment
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 The evolution of glaciers and ice sheets depends on processes in the subglacial environment. Shear seismicity along the ice–bed interface provides a window into these processes. Such seismicity requires a rapid loss of strength that is typically ascribed

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 In a period of high rates of glacier retreat, increasing meltwater discharge from tidewater glaciers can influence marine fjord ecosystems due to increase sediment delivery and accumulation rates in the proglacial environment.

Stratigraphische Begriffe für das Quartär des süddeutschen Alpenvorlandes [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2007 This description of the Quaternary of the south German Alpine Foreland focuses on the classic morphostratigraphical terminology sensu PENCK & BRÜCKNER, with a methodological introduction by K.A. HABBE. These definitions correspond to the nomenclature

Glacial erosion and bedrock properties in NW Scotland : abrasion and plucking, hardness and joint spacing [PDF]
, 2011 Subglacial erosion beneath glaciers occurs predominantly by abrasion and plucking, producing distinct erosional forms. The controls on the relative importance of abrasion vs. plucking are poorly understood.

Experimental constraints on subglacial rock friction
Annals of Glaciology, 2019 Subglacial rock friction is an important control on the sliding dynamics and erosive potential of hard-bedded glaciers, yet it remains largely unconstrained.

Assessment of the tourist attractiveness of global geoparks in Europe
Вісник Київського національного університету імені Тараса Шевченка. Серія Геологія, 2022 The article provides an inventory of geoparks from the list of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Network. It is noted that geoparks as important tourist attractions have been the subject of scientific attention of many authors, but the data presented in these ...
