Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

Deep Neural Networks for the Estimation of Masonry Structures Failures under Rockfalls
Geosciences, 2023 Although the principal aim of the rockfall management is to prevent rock boulders from reaching the buildings instead of the buildings resisting the boulder impacts, there usually exists a residual risk that has to be assessed, even when structural ...

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland
Boreas, EarlyView.Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have occurred throughout the Quaternary in glaciated regions worldwide. Reconstructing flood chronology yields insight into deglaciation processes, environmental change and the role of extreme events in landscape evolution.

Boreas, EarlyView.Gljúfurárjökull, located on the Tröllaskagi Peninsula in northern Iceland, is a small glacier approximately 3.8 km in length. This study analyses the glacier's evolution through a combination of methods including: (i) geomorphological mapping, (ii) Cosmic‐Ray Exposure (CRE) dating, (iii) lichenometry and (iv) palaeoglacier reconstruction (volume ...

Unravelling the evolution of the Frébouge polygenetic cone in Val Ferret (Mont Blanc Massif)
Boreas, EarlyView.Proglacial settings in the Alps are typically polygenetic, often characterized by a complex and discontinuous interplay between glacial, fluvial and gravitational processes. These processes yield high volumes of sediments, which usually exceed their transportation capacity.

Remote Sensing, 2020 A stability investigation based on Digital Outcrop Models (DOMs) acquired in emergency conditions by photogrammetric surveys based on Remote Piloted Aerial System (RPAS) was conducted on an unstable rock slope near Gallivaggio (Western Alps, Italy).

Boreas, EarlyView.The interaction between glaciers and the debris accumulating on their surfaces is critical as the Earth warms, with consequences for ice dynamics, hydrology and mass balance together with slope and sedimentary processes. Understanding this interaction is necessary since it influences ablation rates, sediment and meltwater pathways.
