Abstract Aims The stability of hillslopes is an essential ecosystem service, especially in alpine regions with soils prone to erosion. One key variable controlling hillslope soil aggregate stability. We aimed at identifying dominant controls vegetation parameters on and analysed their importance for during landscape development. Methods quantified the coefficient (ASC) measured plant cover, div...

The Rivoli-Avigliana end moraine system (Italian Western Alps) hosts an important stratigraphic archive of Pleistocene glaciations. A new geological map provides a 3D architecture the that reveals complex glacial, alluvial and lacustrine units. Six glacial units were recognized. During deposition four older (Early-Middle Pleistocene) morphology valley outlet had different drainage pattern from ...

a r t i c l e i n f o We document Plio-Pleistocene changes in the level of Taylor Glacier, an outlet glacier in southern Victoria Land that drains Taylor Dome on the periphery of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS). Chronologic control comes from 3 He cosmogenic-nuclide analyses of 27 boulders sampled from drifts and moraines in Kennar Valley, a small hanging valley that opens onto a peripheral...

Abstract. The young moraine area to the south-east of Berlin was repeatedly overrun and covered by Scandinavian ice sheets (SISs). last glaciation took place during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), when last/most recent SIS reached its furthest southern extent. An incompletely formed chain terminal moraines marks Brandenburg stage. most glacier had greatest environmental impact due large quantities ...
