How to Evaluate a Regional Telemedical Care Network Focusing on Critically Ill Children? Results from the Consensus-Based Development of an Evaluation Design
Background: The medical care of critically ill children requires special expertise in pediatric emergency and intensive care medicine. In Germany, this expertise is mainly available in specialized centers at maximum-care hospitals due to the small number of cases of critically ill children. Telemedical care networks, such as the Pediatric-Tele-Intensive-Care Network Saxony, offer a solution for networking these centers with regional hospitals pro…
Improved chronological constraints for Holocene rock glacier activity in the Ben Ohau Range, Southern Alps/New Zealand
Schmidt-hammer exposure-age dating (SHD) was applied to selected rock glaciers in the south central Ben Ohau Range, Southern Alps, New Zealand, to expand the available regional data set following a previous pilot study. Additional SHD-sampling was conducted on high-altitudinal moraines at two locations with published cosmogenic 10 Be surface-exposure ages and utilised to establish a new regional SHD-age calibration equation. SHD-age estimates ava…
Glacier thinning, recession and advance, and the associated evolution of a glacial lake between 1966 and 2021 at Austerdalsbreen , western Norway
The Jostedalsbreen is the largest ice cap in Norway and mainland Europe. Rapid retreat of many of its outlet glaciers since the 2000s has led to the formation of several glacial lakes. Processes causing the formation and expansion of glacial lakes and their interaction with a glacier and terminal moraine have not been widely addressed yet. In this study, we investigate the degradation of the front of the southeast‐facing outlet glacier Austerdals…
A Longitudinal Seroprevalence Study Evaluating Infection Control and Prevention Strategies at a Large Tertiary Care Center with Low Covid-19 Incidence
Personal protective equipment and adherence to disinfection protocols are essential to prevent nosocomial severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) transmission. Here, we evaluated infection control measures in a prospective longitudinal single-center study at the Vienna General Hospital, the biggest tertiary care center in Austria, with a structurally planned low SARS-CoV-2 exposure. SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies were assessed …
New evidence for active talus-foot rock glaciers at Øyberget, southern Norway, and their development during the Holocene
Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) measurements demonstrate that lobate, blocky depositional landforms, located in southern Norway at an altitude of ~530 m above sea level, with an estimated mean annual air temperature of ~1.6°C, currently exhibit deformation attributed to viscous creep. Five years of InSAR measurements for six lobes demonstrate average surface velocities of 1.2–22.0 mm/year with maximum rates of 17.5–55.6 mm/year. N…
Age and development of active cryoplanation terraces in the alpine permafrost zone at Svartkampan, Jotunheimen, southern Norway
Schmidt-hammer exposure-age dating (SHD) of boulders on cryoplanation terrace treads and associated bedrock cliff faces revealed Holocene ages ranging from 0 ± 825 to 8890 ± 1185 yr. The cliffs were significantly younger than the inner treads, which tended to be younger than the outer treads. Radiocarbon dates from the regolith of 3854 to 4821 cal yr BP (2σ range) indicated maximum rates of cliff recession of ~0.1 mm/yr, which suggests the onset …

Age constraints of rock glaciers in the Southern Alps/New Zealand – Exploring their palaeoclimatic potential
Two rock glaciers in the valley head of Irishman Stream in the central Ben Ohau Range, Southern Alps/New Zealand, have been investigated using the electronic Schmidt-hammer (SilverSchmidt). Longitudinal profiles on both features reveal a consistent trend of decreasing R(Rebound)-values and, hence, increasing weathering intensity and surface-exposure age on their numerous transverse surface ridges from rooting zone towards the front. Previously pu…
Schmidt-hammer exposure-age dating (SHD) performed on periglacial and related landforms in Opplendskedalen, Geirangerfjellet, Norway
Schmidt-hammer exposure-age dating (SHD) was applied to a variety of boulder-dominated periglacial landforms in an attempt to establish a local mid-/late-Holocene chronology for the Geirangerfjellet in South Norway. Landform ages were obtained by application of a local calibration curve for Schmidt hammer R-values based on young and old control points comprising fresh road cuts and a bedrock surface in proximity to the study area, respectively. T…
Glacial geomorphology of the Brabazon & Butler Downs, Rangitata Valley, South Island, New Zealand
The inland valleys of New Zealand’s South Island were heavily glaciated during the last glacial cycle. Subsequent fluvial incision has eroded out glacial deposits from the valleys in many locations, making it difficult to reconstruct glacial dynamics and chronology. The Brabazon and Butler Downs lie in a fault-controlled intra-montaine basin that has been largely protected from fluvial erosion and the area contains extensive evidence for multiple…
Investigation of late-Holocene moraines in the western Southern Alps, New Zealand, applying Schmidt-hammer exposure-age dating
Chronological studies applying Schmidt-hammer exposure-age dating (SHD) were performed on six glacier forelands in the western part of the Southern Alps, New Zealand. Although lithological heterogeneity prevented a regional age-calibration curve to be established, local age-calibration curves for La Perouse Glacier and Strauchon Glacier could be derived. They show similar linear equations and trends/slopes and enabled a preliminary assessment of …

The contemporary retreat of Tasman Glacier, Southern Alps, New Zealand, and the evolution of Tasman proglacial Lake since AD 2000
The Tasman Glacier is one of many freshwater-terminating glaciers located in the Aoraki/M.t Cook National Park that has retreated significantly since the mid-20th century. Although there have been several observations made of the glacier since the formation of Tasman Lake and the following rapid retreat, the glacier entered a period of rapid terminus disintegration and retreat since c. AD 2000. The retreat of Tasman Glacier between 2000 and 2008 …
Holocene glacier chronologies
In the context of reconstruction of Holocene glacier chronologies, there has been a clear tendency during the past few decades towards imprecise use of the term ‘high resolution’. Furthermore, it seems to be increasingly assumed that recently developed terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide dating (TCND) is replacing earlier dating methods. Although recent glaciological knowledge clearly reveals the futility of oversimplified global and inter-hemispheric…
Perturbation of climatic response at maritime glaciers
Detailed analyses of mass-balance and length-variation data from maritime mountain glaciers in southern Nor way reveal that some frequent assumptions of the relationship between mass-balance data and terminus response need to be reconsidered. In particular, the possibility of a 'regime shift' in the mass-balance drivers and the virtual absence of any frontal reaction time due to a perturbation of the dynamic response of the glacier tongue occurri…
Glacier fluctuations of Jostedalsbreen, western Norway, during the past 20 years
The steep outlet glaciers of Jostedalsbreen, western Norway, are good examples of sensitively reacting maritime mountain glaciers. Their changes in length, frontal position and lower tongue's morphology during the past 20 years have been well documented. At first they experienced a strong frontal advance. After AD 2000 glacier behaviour was dominated by a strong frontal retreat, in some cases causing a separation of the lowermost glacier tongue. …
Reconstruction of Holocene glacier history from distal sources
This study attempts to reconstruct the Holocene glacier history of Breheimen, southern Norway from four stream-bank mire sites and a downstream lake sediment core near Sota Sæter, based on lithostratigraphy, sediment properties (loss-on-ignition (LOI), magnetic susceptibility (MS), grain size characteristics) and 69 radiocarbon dates. Late-Preboreal deglaciation is indicated by lake-floor accumulation of organic matter (gyttja) largely replacing …
Glacier variations in Breheimen, southern Norway
Lichenometric evidence and Schmidt hammer R-values are used to date Holocene moraine sequences in front of six high-altitude (> 1500 m) glaciers in Breheimen, central southern Norway. At three glacier forelands with southerly aspects (Høgsetbreen, Vestre Høybre and Østre Høybre), relatively small (≤4 m high) discrete boulder moraine ridges are shown to date from the ‘Little Ice Age’. The remaining three glaciers (Østre Tundradalskyrkjabre, Nordre…
Lichenometric dating of the ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum in Mt Cook National Park, Southern Alps, New Zealand
Lichenometric dating studies using the yellow-green Rhizocarpon subgenus at the Eugenie, Hooker, Mueller and Tasman Glaciers in Mt Cook National Park, Southern Alps, New Zealand, reveal a ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum during the mid-eighteenth century (around AD 1725-1740). Lichenometric dating curves, constructed for Mueller Glacier in a preliminary study, were modified using local control points at the other glaciers. Modification was necessary beca…
A new interpretation of the date of the ‘Little Ice Age’ glacier maximum at Svartisen and Okstindan, northern Norway
New results concerning the dating of ‘Little Ice Age’ glacier variations at Svartisen and Okstindan, northern Norway, are presented. Measurements of lichens of the Rhizocarpon subgenus on gravestones are used to construct several local sets of lichenometric dating curves. These are partly ‘adjusted’ in relation to well-established lichenometric dating curves from southern Norway. The ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum at Svartisen and Okstindan is thereby …
The ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum in the Southern Alps, New Zealand
Lichenometric-dating studies using the yellow-green Rhizocarpon subgenus at Mueller Glacier in the region of Mt Cook, Southern Alps, New Zealand, reveal a ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum about ad 1725/1730. Differences from previous studies are shown to result from different methods, especially the type of mathematical functions used for calculating the lichenometric dating curves. Previous work also used variable sample sizes, distal moraine slopes, an…
