Rocks Glaciers in Geyik Dağı Area, Central Taurus
Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 1972 Various glacial features are widespread in Geyik Dağı area, Central Taurus. Moderately wellpreserved glacial troughs, moraines, rock glaciers and many empty cirques occur over a large area above 2050 meters altitude.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greek peninsula lies at the intersection of major atmospheric circulation systems, making it a key location for reconstructing past climate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean. In this study, we present a new high‐resolution multi‐proxy speleothem record from Hermes Cave, located on the shoulder of the Corinth Rift in southern Greece.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The northern European distal cryptotephra framework is constantly developing both in terms of identification of new tephra horizons and improved age constraints for the already well‐established tephra marker horizons. However, many prehistoric tephra layers have only been dated by the radiocarbon method, with its inherent problems.

Late Quaternary Rock Glaciers, Mount Kenya, Kenya
, 1980 Rock glaciers in Teleki Valley on Mount Kenya exist above 4 000 m below steep valley walls where they are supplied with debris from avalanche couloirs. These valley-side rock glaciers consist of three or four lobes of rubble bounded by transverse furrows

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.

Rock glaciers in the Western and High Tatra Mountains, Western Carpathians
Journal of Maps, 2017 A detailed map of rock glaciers at a scale of 1 : 40 000 is produced for the Western and High Tatra Mts., Western Carpathians, based on remotely sensed mapping. We inventoried a total of 383 rock glaciers, covering a total area of 13.84 km2.

Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance
, 2012 A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Victoria Cave, north Yorkshire, England, contains a long sequence of Pleistocene clastic sediments and calcite flowstones. Earlier work, using U–Th dating, established that the flowstone units formed in interglacial stages corresponding to Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 13, 11, 9, 7 and 5.

Processes of crevasse formation and the dynamics of calving glaciers : a study at Breiđamerkurjökull
, 2009 A new model proposed by Benn et al. (2006, 2007) explains the dynamics of calving glaciers based on a new sliding law and a calving criterion modified from a crevasse depth model. In this thesis three key elements of this model are tested: 1) the role

International audienceRock glaciers are the visible expression of mountain permafrost. The deformation of internal ice and basal horizon make them creeping downward, which allows their detection. Their geomorphological characteristics tend to evolve as a
