The chronology of the most extensive Late Pleistocene glaciation in eastern Pyrenees is now well established, but climatic variations during subsequent Last Glacial-to-Interglacial Transition (LGIT) are much less documented. aim this research to fill that gap. We present a new series 22 10Be exposure ages from sequence moraines upper Ariège catchment, and update 64 previously published seven ot...

It has been known for over a century that the Uinta Mountains contained numerous alpine glaciers during parts of the Quaternary Period, yet until recently, the glacial record on the south side of the range had received little scientifi c attention. Results of recent 1:24,000-scale fi eld mapping of surfi cial deposits in the southern Uinta Mountains indicate that glaciers in the southwestern an...

abstract a mountain glacier, when it occupies a river valley, immediately begins to change the cross-section and profile of that valley. river valleys in mountain areas tends to have v-shaped profiles. glaciers work to widen as well as deepen their valleys and the typical cross-section of a glacial valley is u-shaped. the u-shaped glacial valley is one of the most characteristic of glacial land...

The rapid development of remote sensing technology for obtaining high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) in recent years has made them more and widely available allowed to be used morphometric assessment concave landforms, such as valleys, gullies, glacial cirques, sinkholes, craters, others. aim this study was develop a geographic information systems (GIS) toolbox the automatic extract...

Soajo Mountain is located in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula near border between Portugal and Spain. Its highest elevation 1416 m at Pedrada summit. During Pleistocene, cascade cirques on east flank icefield that covered flattened surface of high plateau generated several glacier valleys. This study presents a paleoglacial reconstruction relict glacial landscape for Glacial Maximum Extent (G...

Late Neogene paleoceanographic history in the western North Pacific is discussed on the basis of: (1) Td (diatom temperature) values, (2) species composition, and (3) the structure of diatom assemblages at Sites 579 and 580. These factors provide a record of fluctuations of the past position of the subarctic-subtropic front because these sites lie within the transition zone between the modern d...

Barhal Valley belongs to the Çoruh System in Kaçkar Mountains of northeastern Anatolia. This 13 km long valley is located south main weather divide and east Mt. Kaçkar, with highest peak mountain range being 3932 m. Today, source an average yearly precipitation 2000 mm moisture Black Sea, situated approximately 40 north study site. Glaciers Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) descended directly from rea...
