The start-perranporth zone- transpressional reactivation across a major basement fault in the variscan orogen of S.W. England [PDF]

, 1994
The Start-Perranporth Zone is one of a number of E-W trending zones in S.W. England, which are characterised by an anomalous and structurally complex deformation history, and which are thought to reflect the influence of pre-existing basin architecture ...

The Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Holocene Series/Epoch (Quaternary System/Period) in the NGRIP ice core

, 2008
The Greenland ice core from NorthGRIP (NGRIP) contains a proxy climate record across the Pleistocene– Holocene boundary of unprecedented clarity and resolution.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Palaeoclimatology, stratigraphy and biotic responses in the middle Eocene

, 2008
The Middle Eocene (37 to 49 million years ago, Ma) was characterised by warmer global temperatures and higher atmospheric carbon dioxide (pCO2) levels than today with onlysmall/non-existant icesheets.

Deciphering Freeze–Thaw Dynamics In Rockwalls: A Novel Approach for High Accuracy Regional‐Scale Modeling

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.

Capturing the Multi‐Decadal Evolution of Glacier–Permafrost Interactions in a High‐Alpine Environment (Ritord, Western Swiss Alps)

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the multi‐decadal evolution of a glacier forefield under permafrost conditions in the Combins Massif (western Swiss Alps). A multi‐method approach based on historical and recent datasets is used to analyze its landform components.

“Cold Tropics”: Permafrost Existence and Thickness on Eastern Nevado Coropuna (Southern Peruvian Andes) Revealed by Ground‐Penetrating Radar and Geoelectrical Soundings

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The existence of permafrost was explored at tropical latitude on Nevado Coropuna (southern Peruvian Andes) using a combination of ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and vertical electrical sounding (VES) in order to strengthen the mutual validation of data processing and interpretation.

Formal subdivision of the Holocene Series/Epoch: a Discussion Paper by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice-core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommission on Quaternary Stratigraphy (International Commission on Stratigraphy)

, 2012
This discussion paper, by a Working Group of INTIMATE (Integration of ice-core, marine and terrestrial records) and the Subcommision on Quaternary Stratigraphy (SQS) of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), considers the prospects for a ...

Multiproxy Chronologies of the Hurd Rock Glacier (Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, Maritime Antarctica): Between the Late‐Stage Stabilization and Flow Deceleration

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Hurd Rock Glacier, located on Livingston Island (South Shetland Islands archipelago, Maritime Antarctica), is a tongue‐shaped feature composed of angular boulders, displaying transverse ridges and furrows, and featuring lobate structures, which are more prominently developed in its frontal sector.
