The Patagonian Icefields are among the highest latitude and most sensitive icefields in the Southern Hemisphere, and are responding sensitively to climate. Their response to rapid climate changes during the Last Termination and during Holocene palaeoclimatic fluctuations has the potential to elucidate changes in large scale atmospheric circulation as well as aid better predictions of their futu...

Reconstructing paleoenvironmental change from glacial geologic evidence in the Himalayas has been difficult because of the lack of organic material for radiocarbon dating and the problems of correctly identifying the origin of highly dissected landforms. Studies of the contemporary glacial depositional environments, and ancient landforms and sediments in the Hunza valley (Karakoram Mountains), ...
