A number of studies have reported on environmental degradation in the Nepal Himalaya as a result of large-scale deforestation and the associated agricultural extension. In contrast to many previous regional scale studies, ...

Traditionally, geometrical ridge networks are interpreted as the product of the flow of subglacial sediment into open basal crevasses at the cessation of a glacier surge (‘crevassefill’ ridges). They are widely regarded ...

Waters were sampled from 17 boreholes at Haut Glacier d'Arolla during the 1993 and 1994 ablation seasons. Three types of concentrated subglacial water were identified, based on the relative proportions of Ca2+, HCO3- and ...

We describe and interpret the surface terrain types associated with a widely-reported not, vert, similar4 km long, mid-latitude martian viscous flow feature (VFF). The feature is located in the southern hemisphere, on the ...

This paper presents a new 1:10 000 scale geomorphological map of Cadair Idris, Wales. The geomorphology was mapped by the interpretation of colour aerial photographs (scale 1:10 000) and eld investigations of landform/sediment ...

Pleistocene glacial activity transformed the runoff regimes and sediment loads of many river systems in the Mediterranean region. New data from northwest Greece show marked contrasts in ice volume and extent between cold ...

Subglacial erosion beneath glaciers occurs predominantly by abrasion and plucking, producing distinct erosional forms. The controls on the relative importance of abrasion vs. plucking are poorly understood. On the one hand, ...

Geomorphological evidence for Pleistocene glaciation has been mapped in the Pindus Mountains of northwest Greece, and the chronology of glaciation in this area has been established through soil profile analysis and U-series ...
