Mountain Glaciation
The Quaternary is characterized by long periods of glacier and ice sheet growth (glaciations) interspersed with short periods of glacier retreat and ice sheet decay (interglaciations). Glaciers form preferentially in high‐altitude and high‐latitude locations owing to low mean annual temperatures. Most of the world's high mountain ranges have therefore hosted glaciers during the Quaternary and have characteristic and often spectacular glacial eros…
Paleoglacial footprint and fluvial terraces of the Shaluli Shan, SE Tibetan Plateau
This study provides mapping of glacial and fluvial geomorphology in the Shaluli Shan region on the eastern margin of the south-eastern Tibetan Plateau. Based on TanDEM-X 12 m elevation data and GoogleEarth imagery, glacial valleys, ice-marginal moraines, glacial lineations, scoured terrain and fluvial terraces were mapped. Covering around 11,000 km 2 , this map is the first for this region to display geomorphology at a spatial resolution of 0.4 a…
The glacial geomorphology of western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica
Reconstructing the response of present-day ice sheets to past global climate change is important for constraining and refining the numerical models which forecast future contributions of these ice sheets to sea-level change. Mapping landforms is an essential step in reconstructing glacial histories. Here we present a new map of glacial landforms and deposits on nunataks in western Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Nunataks are mountains or ridges t…
Glacial Erosional Processes and Landforms
Glacial erosional processes include abrasion, plucking, and physical and chemical erosion by glacial meltwater. Rates of glacial erosion range from 10 −4 to 10 1 mm year −1 and glaciers are one of the most effective erosional agents in the earth‐surface system. Glacial erosion produces both small‐scale landforms, for example, striations, grooves, and chatter marks, and classic large‐scale landforms such as U‐shaped valleys and fjords. At the land…
Glacial geomorphology of the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, Central Asia
In this article, we present a map of the glacial geomorphology of the Altai andWestern Sayan Mountains, covering an area of almost 600,000 km2. Although numerous studies provide evidence for restricted Pleistocene glaciations in this area, others have hypothesized the past existence of an extensive ice sheet. To provide a framework for accurate glacial reconstructions of the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, we present a map at a scale of 1:1,00…
