Holocene development and geomorphic processes at Omnsbreen, southern Norway
Omnsbreen is a small (<0.5 km 2 ) and degrading glacier situated at the regional lower limit of present-day permafrost distribution and glaciation. At present, the existence of Omnsbreen is mainly dependent on wind-borne snow redistributed by the prevailing westerly winter-wind, and lies in an area of marginal permafrost occurrence. During the ‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) both the glacier and the distribution of permafrost in the area reached their max…
Geomorphology of the Ammassalik Island, SE Greenland
Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 108(1):5–20, 2008 Ammassalik Island is located on the elevated, passive continental margin of SE Greenland. The island itself is dominated by high ground, presumably representing part of an upwarped zone along the continental margin, separated from an adjacent narrow coastal plain. Most of the present relief must have formed during the Palaeocene and Eocene, or later, during the Neogene. During t…

Formation, Meltout Processes and Landscape Alteration of High-Arctic Ice-Cored Moraines—Examples From Nordenskiold Land, Central Spitsbergen
The debris-covered ice-margins of three largely cold-based glaciers in central Spitsbergen were investigated to reconstruct their formation and degradation. Clast shapes indicate dominant englacial and supraglacial transport with a smaller subglacial component. Emplacement of material is inferred to have been through meltout along flowlines due to the relatively uniform and continuous debris cover along the glacier margins; no evidence of thrusti…

Moraine Systems in the Faroe Islands
Danish Journal of Geography 96: 21–31, 1996. Geomorphological investigations on the Faroe Islands have shown the existence of small, but distinct moraine systems, indicating the former occurrence of glaciers. At least two glacial events may be distinguished: an older characterised by valley glaciers 2–4 km long, and a younger characterised by small cirque glaciers. Dating (14C) indicates that the youngest moraines are older than 5,200 yr. BP. Dur…

High Deglaciation Rates in Denmark During the Late Weichselian—Implications for the Palaeoenvironment
Ole Humlum & Michael Houmark-Nielsen: High Deglaciation Rates in Denmark During the Late Weichselian—Implications for the Palaeoenvironment. Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 94:xx-xx. Copenhagen, Dec. 1994. Available geologic evidence suggests that the mean deglaciation rate in Denmark 18,000–17,000 calendar years BP was at least about 100 m/year, probably requiring a total vertical ice ablation of 30–35 m/year. This ablation va…

Natural cairns on rock glaciers as an indication of a solid ice core
Humlum, Ole: Natural cairns on rock glaciers as an indication of a solid ice core. Geografisk Tidsskrift 88:78–82. Copenhagen. 1988. A special surface feature taking the form of natural cairns is observed on rock glaciers in Disko, central West Greenland, known to possess a core of solid ice. These block accumulations are perceived as developed by the gradually outcropping of large en-glacial blocks from the ice core due to surface ablation, ther…
