TL;DR: In the early 1980s, Norway and New Zealand both experienced recent glacial advances, commencing in the early 80s and ceasing around 2000, which were more extensive than any other since the end of the Little Ice Age.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the reliability of correlation is no better than the weakest link in the chain of reasoning which connects climatic fluctuations with dated landforms and sediments, and suggest that to enable reliable correlation, glacier chronologies should first be examined for their climatic integrity, spatial coherence and chronological robustness.

Abstract: Results of glaciological investigations performed at Norwegian glaciers in 2010 are presented in this report. The main part concerns mass balance investigations. Results from investigations of glacier length changes are discussed in a separate chapter.

TL;DR: The use of the Schmidt hammer for the relative age dating of boulder and bedrock surfaces is outlined in this article, where two examples of the application of Schmidthammer for the dating of Holocene moraines in Mt Cook National Park, Southern Alps, New Zealand, confirm the potential of this method.

TL;DR: Matthews et al. as discussed by the authors applied Schmidt-hammer exposure-age dating (SHD) to early Holocene moraines and a reappraisal of the reliability of terrestrial cosmogenic-nuclide dating (TCND) at Austanbotnbreen, Jotunheimen, Norway.
