Ophiolitic detritus in Kimmeridgian resedimented limestones and its provenance from an eroded obducted ophiolitic nappe stack south of the Northern Calcareous Alps (Austria)

Geologica Carpathica, 2015
The causes for the Middle to Late Jurassic tectonic processes in the Northern Calcareous Alps are still controversially discussed. There are several contrasting models for these processes, formerly designated “Jurassic gravitational tectonics”.

Metamorphic Facies Distribution in the Western Alps Predicted by Petrological‐Thermomechanical Models of Syn‐Convergent Exhumation

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
The distribution of metamorphic rocks throughout the western European Alps indicates subduction‐related metamorphism. However, processes by which high‐grade metamorphic rocks exhume remain disputed.

Combining ensemble models and connectivity analyses to predict wolf expected dispersal routes through a lowland corridor.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The Italian wolf (Canis lupus italicus) population has remained isolated South of the Alps for the last few thousand years. After a strong decline, the species has recolonized the Apennines and the Western Alps, while it is currently struggling to ...

Topography constrains the climatic response of treeline migration in Taiwan's subalpine forests

Ecography, EarlyView.
Treelines are moving upslope, but the rates and drivers differ among different regions, globally. Many studies have examined the relationship between treeline movement and climate change, particularly rising temperature, while the role of topographical factors has received much less attention, despite the longstanding recognition of its importance.

Thrust sheet evolution in the Kinlochewe region of the Moine Thrust Zone, N.W. Scotland and the Pelvoux-Brianconnais, French Alps [PDF]

, 1984
Balanced and restored cross sections demonstrate a minimum 16 km shortening below the Moine Thrust and minimum restored wi1ths of 17 km between the La Meije and Combeynot Thrusts (external Alps), and 54 km between the frontal Subbrianconnais Thrust ...

Holocene glacier culminations in the Western Alps and their hemispheric relevance [PDF]

, 2012
International audienceThe natural variability of Holocene climate defines the baseline to assess ongoing climate change. Greenland ice-core records indicate warming superimposed by abrupt climate oscillations in the early Holocene, followed by a general ...

Spatio-temporal variability and controlling factors for postglacial denudation rates in the Dora Baltea catchment (western Italian Alps) [PDF]

, 2022
International audienceDisentangling the influence of lithology from the respective roles of climate, topography and tectonic forcing on catchment denudation is often challenging in mountainous landscapes due to the diversity of geomorphic processes in ...

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

Changes in hot spring temperature and hydrogeology of the Alpine Fault hanging wall, New Zealand, induced by distal South Island earthquakes [PDF]

, 2014
Thermal springs in the Southern Alps, New Zealand, originate through penetration of fluids into a thermal anomaly generated by rapid uplift and exhumation on the Alpine Fault.

Little Ice Age glacial systems and related natural instability processes in the Orco Valley (North-Western Italy)

Journal of Maps, 2019
Glaciated and recently (post-Little Ice Age) deglaciated areas are very dynamic environments, undergoing continuous changes, in particular as a consequence of climatic fluctuations and cryosphere changes.
