Many glaciated valleys in Scotland contain distinctive, closely spaced ridges and mounds, which have been termed ‘hummocky moraine’. The mounds are widely interpreted as ice-marginal moraines, constructed during active retreat of mainly temperate glaciers. However, hummocky terrain can form by various processes glacial environments, it may relate to a range contrasting glaciodynamic regimes. Th...

The complexity of spatial decision-making makes it difficult for individual organization to deal effectively with decision-making. Difficulty in linking data, analysis tools and models across organization is one of the barriers to be overcome in developing integrated spatial decision-making. Many researchers have been working on development of various models and decision support tools to addres...

The Sichuan–Tibet Railway crosses through the largest maritime glacier region in China. A large number of moraines formed after rapid glacial retreat caused by climate warming. Moraines could induce frequent geological hazards that seriously threatened safe construction and operation railway. Accordingly, this have become a new challenging research topic with respect to formation hazards. Using...

Abstract Background The forelands of retreating glaciers are invaluable natural laboratories in which to explore the processes primary succession. Numerous studies have been conducted on foreland chronosequences identify temporal and spatial trends successional communities. This study focused spatio-temporal distribution three woody plant species a glacier southern Iceland where historical obse...

Abstract. Glacial lakes in the Hindu Kush–Karakoram–Himalayas–Nyainqentanglha (HKKHN) region have grown rapidly number and area past decades, some dozens drained catastrophic glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs). Estimating regional susceptibility of has largely relied on qualitative assessments by experts, thus motivating a more systematic quantitative appraisal. Before backdrop current climat...
