Little Ice Age terminal and retreat moraines in Kollerfjorden, NW Spitsbergen

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2016
Many glaciers on Svalbard thickened and advanced during the Little Ice Age (LIA), which occurred between about 1400 and 1920 in the archipelago (Werner 1993). A terminal transverse ridge, along with associated distal depressions and lobes, marks the maximum extent of the advance of Kollerbreen glacier at the beginning of the twentieth century ...

Debris-flow lobes on the distal flanks of terminal moraines in Spitsbergen fjords

Geological Society, London, Memoirs, 2016
Terminal and recessional moraines formed at the margins of tidewater glaciers are often asymmetrical, with relatively steep ice-distal sides and lower-gradient ice-proximal slopes (e.g. Benn & Evans 2010; Dowdeswell & Vasquez 2013). Their ice-distal slopes, in particular, may be the locations of slope failure and the generation of debris flows that ...

A Probable Late Pinedale Terminal Moraine in Castle River Valley, Alberta: Reply

Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1970
Radiocarbon dates from the Castle River Valley of southwestern Alberta indicate that the last major glacier advance down that valley reached its maximum extent 6200 radiocarbon years ago. This advance is considered to be late Pinedale in age. The Pinedale then ended with onset of the “Climatic Optimum” or “Altithermal,” which lasted in that region from

Late-Glacial Environmental Changes South of the Wisconsinan Terminal Moraine in the Eastern United States

Quaternary Research, 2000
AbstractPalynological analyses of two sediment cores, one 2.4 m long from northern Delaware, dated about 16,300 to 14,70014C yr B.P., and one 1.8 m long from New Jersey just south of the Wisconsinan terminal moraine and dated about 13,600 to 12,50014C yr B.P., give the first detailed evidence of vegetation in this area during these periods. The overall

Productivity of herbaceous stands of different ages under landscape conditions of a terminal moraine ridge

Russian Agricultural Sciences, 2008
Yield formation of uneven-aged herbaceous stands under various weather and lanscape conditions is investigated in a multifactor experiment. It is shown that yield and adaptive properties of the stands depend in many respects on their age and climatic situation as well as on the properties of the landscape and soil environment.

The age of the Waiho Loop terminal moraine, Franz Josef Glacier, Westland

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, 1988
Abstract The Waiho Loop terminal moraine lies c. 10 km in front of the 10 km long Franz Josef Glacier in Westland, New Zealand. In 1978 an age of 11450 ± 200 years B. P. (NZ4234A) was reported for in situ wood embedded in silt and overlain by glacial sediments 1.6 km behind the moraine.
