Revised classification of glaciofluvial landforms in the Finnish sector of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet

Boreas, EarlyView.
Effective and sustainable land use, conservation, and the use of geological resources (incl. raw materials, aggregates and groundwater) require a clear classification system of sedimentary units, with well‐defined vocabulary and unified mapping practices.

Modelling subglacial fluvial sediment transport with a graph-based model, Graphical Subglacial Sediment Transport (GraphSSeT)

The Cryosphere
Abstract. A quantitative understanding of how sediment discharge from subglacial fluvial systems varies in response to glaciohydrological conditions is essential for understanding marine systems around Greenland and Antarctica and for interpreting sedimentary records of cryosphere evolution.

Weichselian history of the Fennoscandian Ice Sheet centre, Kvarken archipelago, western Finland—flow shifts, thermal regime and deglaciation

Boreas, EarlyView.
Rapid thaw of the Earth's cryosphere in response to anthropogenic warming highlights the need to identify and understand the contrasting signatures of past ice‐sheet stability and collapse. The Kvarken archipelago, western Finland, at the centre of the former Fennoscandian Ice Sheet (FIS), has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in recognition

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Dynamic subglacial meltwater history archived in Antarctic subglacial lake sediments

Geological Society of America Bulletin
Abstract There is a paucity of records on decadal to millennial scales archiving the evolution of the Antarctic subglacial hydrologic system, leaving a gap in our knowledge of the links between meltwater drainage and ice behavior. We employed a suite of sedimentological and geochemical methods to assess the stratigraphic distribution of ...

Potential Activity of Subglacial Microbiota Transported to Anoxic River Delta Sediments [PDF]

Microbial Ecology, 2017
The Watson River drains a portion of the SW Greenland ice sheet, transporting microbial communities from subglacial environments to a delta at the head of Søndre Strømfjord. This study investigates the potential activity and community shifts of glacial microbiota deposited and buried under layers of sediments within the river delta.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Global Glacial Rock Weathering Signature Depends on Competing Contributions From Ice Sheets and Alpine Glaciers

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Rock weathering influences Earth's atmosphere and climate. The dissolution of silicate minerals draws down atmospheric CO2 while sulfide oxidation coupled with carbonate dissolution releases CO2. Alpine glacier rock weathering causes high sulfide oxidation and carbonate dissolution.

Climate Warming and Ice Weakening Trigger Alpine Glacier Collapses: The Marmolada Case

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The rapid retreat of temperate mid‐latitude glaciers due to global warming causes dramatic mass loss and increases their instability. Using a synthesis of thermodynamic and mechanical laws, we constructed a three‐dimensional stability model and applied it in the analysis of the collapse of a portion of the Marmolada Glacier in northeastern ...

Determining the Character of Subglacial Sediments in the Ice‐Bedrock Interface Zone of Antarctica Using Horizontal‐to‐Vertical Spectral Ratios (HVSRs) of Seismic Ambient Noise

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Interactions between the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the underlying solid Earth occur within the ice‐bedrock interface zone (IBIZ), containing structures of sediments and rocks that strongly influence ice sheet dynamics. Existing insights into the Antarctic IBIZ come primarily from interpretations of airborne geophysical data and active seismic ...
