Geobiodiversity Assessment of Oshtorankuh Region Based on GBI Index
جغرافیا و پایداری محیط, 2023 Various biological and geological processes, especially erosion, lead to the diversity of environmental features, which are studied under concepts such as geodiversity and biodiversity.

The cross-sectional characteristics of glacial valleys and their spatial variability [PDF]
, 2014 Glacial valleys are fundamental large-scale geomorphological landscape features that dissect mountain ranges. Their cross-sectional shape is recognised as distinct from fluvial valleys.

Acta Carsologica, 2017 Landforms resulting from the interaction between paleo-glaciers and karst are studied by using the Sierra de los Grajos (Cantabrian Mountains) as a model.

, 2002 The main landforms within the glacially scoured Precambrian rocks of the Swedish west coast are closely connected to the principal structural pattern and have lately been explained as mainly a result of etch processes, probably during the Mesozoic and ...

The glacial paleolandscapes of Southern Africa: the legacy of the Late Paleozoic Ice Age [PDF]
Earth Surface DynamicsThe modern relief of Southern Africa is characterized by stepped plateaus bordered by escarpments. This morphology is thought to result from stepwise uplift and ensuing continental-scale erosion of the region as it rode over Africa's mantle superplume ...

Paraglacial modification of drift-mantled hillslopes [PDF]
, 2015 The aim of the research reported in this thesis is to establish the characteristics of paraglacial modification of drift-mantled hillslopes in glaciated upland valleys in Norway and Scotland.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Glaciokarst landscapes pose distinctive challenges for cosmogenic dating because meltwater and runoff can be rapidly rerouted into ponors and conduit networks, weakening glacier–river coupling and promoting local sediment storage. We reconstruct glacier retreat and postglacial stabilization on the Snežnik Plateau (SW Slovenia) using in situ ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Laurentide Ice Sheet covered vast areas of North America during the Wisconsinan, including the Labrador Shelf, off the coast of eastern Canada. The shelf is characterized by glacial cross‐shelf troughs, which have been considered as predominantly eroded by the last ice advance.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While the Antarctic region has experienced significant climatic changes over the Holocene, few high‐resolution records have examined their effects on the local biota. In order to understand past ecological shifts and forecast future changes, it is important to obtain high‐resolution palaeoecological records from this region.
