Glacial isostatic uplift of the European Alps
Following the last glacial maximum (LGM), the demise of continental ice sheets induced crustal rebound in tectonically stable regions of North America and Scandinavia that is still ongoing. Unlike the ice sheets, the Alpine ice cap developed in an orogen where the measured uplift is potentially attributed to tectonic shortening, lithospheric delamination and unloading due to deglaciation and er...
متن کاملRapid viscoelastic uplift in southeast Alaska caused by post-Little Ice Age glacial retreat
Our observations show that extreme uplift in southeast Alaska began about 1770 AD, with relative sea level (RSL) change to 5.7 m and current uplift rates to 32 mm/yr. This region experienced widespread glacial melting following the Little Ice Age (LIA), with the collapse of the Glacier Bay Icefield alone equivalent to 8 mm of global sea level rise. Geodynamic modelling links the uplift to post-...

متن کاملBacteria in post-glacial freshwater sediments.
Prokaryote communities in post-glacial profundal freshwater sediments of Windermere, representing 10-12,000 years of deposition, were examined for culturability, viability and community structure. The potential for active geochemical cycles was inferred from the presence of specific groups of bacteria. Direct count procedures revealed 10(12) cells (g dry wt sediment)-1 in the surface sediments,...
متن کاملResponse of glacial landscapes to spatial variations in rock uplift rate
[1] The response of glaciated landscapes to rapid rock uplift, driven by tectonic convergence, is an important, often neglected, aspect of proposed interactions between plate tectonic processes and climate change. Rivers typically respond to more rapid rock uplift in part through increasing channel gradients. In contrast, the ‘‘glacial buzzsaw’’ hypothesis suggests that glaciers can erode as qu...
