Piecing together the Lateglacial advance phases of the Reussgletscher (central Swiss Alps) [PDF]
Geographica Helvetica, 2018 Exposure dating has substantially improved our knowledge about glacier advances during the Younger Dryas (YD) and the early Holocene. The glacier development after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the timing of morphologically evidenced, earlier ...

Glacier dynamics, sedimentary processes, and deglaciation history in Recherchefjorden, Svalbard
Arctic ScienceThe postglacial retreat of Svalbard glaciers has been interrupted by relatively short-lived readvances controlled by climatic as well as local glacial, meteorological, and geological controls.

The 1988 glacial lake outburst flood in Guangxieco Lake, Tibet, China [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The 1988 glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) in Guangxieco Lake is studied based on geomorphological evidence, interviews with local residents, field surveys in 1990 and 2007, and satellite images from different years. The findings are as follows. (1) The

Glaciation Traces in the Area of the Risnjak Mountain Massif
Geologia Croatica, 2010 The area of the Risnjak mountain massif is a submorphologicalregion - part of the mesomorphological region of the south-westernGorski Kotar. This area exceeds 1,500 metres in height.

Land, 2022 Periglacial slopes are susceptible to recent climate change. The rate of morphogenetic processes depends on numerous factors. The most important of these is the warming of the air and ground, increased precipitation (extreme rainfall in particular), and ...

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2016 Chamlang South Tsho has been identified as one of the six high-priority glacial lakes in terms of glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) danger in Nepal Himalaya, despite the fact that no detailed investigations of the lake had been hitherto undertaken.

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 ...

New age constraints of the LGM onset in the Bohemian Forest – Central Europe
Open GeosciencesDuring the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), valley glaciers in the Bavarian/Bohemian Forest mountains (Central Europe) reached their maximum extent, forming prominent terminal moraines.

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.

Boreas, EarlyView.The last (Wisconsinan) glacial period was punctuated in North America by two glacial maxima, known as the Early and Late Wisconsinan glaciations. In Alaska, these maxima and their subsequent retreats have been the object of dating efforts to reconstruct local climatic events and compare them to global trends.
