Late Pleistocene and Holocene palaeoclimate and glacier fluctuations in Patagonia
TL;DR: The evidence for Late Pleistocene and Holocene palaeoclimate and glacier fluctuations of the two major icefields in Patagonia, the Hielo Patagonico Norte (47°00′S, 73°39′W) and the hielo Pico Sur (between 48°50′S and 51°30′S) is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of tide-water calving at Glaciar San Rafael, Chile
Charles R. Warren,Neil F. Glasser,Stephan Harrison,Vanessa Winchester,Andrew Kerr,Andrés Rivera +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of local environmental variables on the magnitude and frequency distributions of calving behavior at glaciersiar San Rafael, Chile was investigated. But the authors were unable to identify the most frequent and frequent calving events.
Journal ArticleDOI
A glacial lake outburst flood associated with recent mountain glacier retreat, Patagonian Andes
Stephan Harrison,Neil F. Glasser,Vanessa Winchester,Eleanor Haresign,Charles R. Warren,Krister N. Jansson +5 more
TL;DR: Harrison, S., Glasser, N. F., Winchester, V., Haresign, E., Warren, C., Jansson, K. as mentioned in this paper reported a glacial lake outburst flood associated with recent mountain glacier retreat, Patagonian Andes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendrochronology and lichenometry: colonization, growth rates and dating of geomorphological events on the east side of the North Patagonian Icefield, Chile
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used dendrochronology and lichenometry to estimate tree ages and growth rates in the Arco and Colonia valleys of the North Patagonian Icefield, showing that tree ages below a core height of 112 cm can vary from 5 to 41 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Buoyancy-driven lacustrine calving, Glaciar Nef, Chilean Patagonia
TL;DR: In this article, a hinge-calving mechanism is proposed in which buoyant forces impose a torque on the glacier tongue, resulting in the release of coherent sections of the glacier glacier tongue as tabular ice-bergs.
