Differentiating hyperpycnal, hypopycnal and turbidity current deposits in late Quaternary glaciogenic mud

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
X‐ray CT and microscopic analysis of glaciogenic mud provide insight into the deposits of sediment‐laden density flows and reveal that strata comprise two microtextural motifs. The deposits of bottom‐hugging hyperpycnal flows and slope‐failure‐related turbidity currents are characterised by laterally continuous, sharply bounded silt‐rich and clay‐rich ...

A late Holocene pollen record from proglacial Oblong Tarn, Mount Kenya [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
High-elevation ecosystems, such as those on Mount Kenya are undergoing significant changes, with accelerated glacial ice losses over the twentieth century creating new space for alpine plants to establish.

Factors of formation and development of supraglacial lakes and their quantification: a review

open access: yesActa Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2016
Supraglacial lakes greatly affect the rate of glacier ablation and a potentially dangerous (GLOF – Glacier lake outburst flood) proglacial lake often forms through their development.

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

open access: yesEarth 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.

Seismic stratigraphy of Lago Fagnano sediments (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) - A potencial archive of paleoclimatic change and tectonic activity since the Late Glacial [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Located at 54ºS in the heart of the Island of Tierra del Fuego, Lago Fagnano occupies the deepest of a chain of en-echelon tectonic depressions along the Magallanes-Fagnano Transform system (MFT).

Proglacial Lake Drainage Events Drive Fast Grounding Line Advance in a Warming Climate

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Proglacial lakes along the retreating margin of the Laurentide ice sheet (LIS) significantly influenced the ice sheet's dynamics. This study investigates the interaction between proglacial lake drainage events and ice sheet evolution during deglaciation.

Seasonal variations in proglacial lake area revealed by high spatial resolution planetscope satellite imagery

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
High‐resolution PlanetScope imagery reveals seasonal variations in proglacial lake area are underestimated by ~7% in moderate‐resolution data, while use of a single summer image can underestimate annual maximum area by ~2%. Capturing these seasonal variations provides valuable insights into the factors driving lake dynamics at Fjallsárlón, Iceland ...

The signature of river- and wind-borne materials exported from Patagonia to the southern latitudes: a view from REEs and implications for paleoclimatic interpretations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Riverine and wind-borne materials transferred from Patagonia to the SW Atlantic exhibit a homogeneous rare earth element (REE) signature. They match well with the REE composition of Recent tephra from the Hudson volcano,and hence this implies a ...

Dynamics of lake-terminating glaciers in the Himalaya and Southeastern Tibet between 1990 and 2020

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
Lake-terminating glaciers retreat and thin faster than land-terminating glaciers, yet their long-term dynamics remain underexplored. Using multi source–remote sensing data combined with glacier velocity and elevation change datasets, we investigated ...

Glacial varves at the distal slope of Pandivere-Neva ice-recessional formations in western Estonia [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2012
The distribution and varve thickness data of Late Weichselian varved clay were analyzed to describe the proglacial sedimentary environment, ice recession and water-level changes in the Baltic Ice Lake at the distal position of Pandivere–Neva (13.5–13.1 ...
