TLDR
In this article, Schmidt-hammer R-values enabled a temporal distinction of landforms within the Holocene (LIA moraine, active rock glaciers) but not within the Lateglacial, which indicated the persistence of longlasting small local ice caps after the breakdown of the LGM ice domes or a reformation of ice perhaps during the Younger Dryas.About:

Glacier variations in the European Alps at the end of the last glaciation
TL;DR: The Egesen stadial moraines as discussed by the authors formed at the margins of glaciers that advanced during the closing phase of the last glacial maximum or during the earliest Holocene at 10.5-12.5 ka.
Journal ArticleDOI
A regional inventory of rock glaciers and protalus ramparts in the central Italian Alps
TL;DR: In this paper, a regional inventory of rock glaciers is presented for the Lombardy region, central Italian Alps to identify and classify the landforms, inspecting three sequential air-orthophoto mosaics and a 2m-DSM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dating the onset of LGM ice surface lowering in the High Alps
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report chronological constraints on the onset of deglaciation in two different study areas from the Western and Eastern Alps: the Mont Blanc (Italy) and Zillertal Alps (Austria).
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Pleistocene deglaciation in the upper Gállego Valley, central Pyrenees
TL;DR: In this article, geomorphological mapping and 36Cl cosmogenic dating of moraine and rock glacier boulders, as well as polished bedrock were used to study deglaciation processes in the upper Gallego Valley, central-southern Pyrenees.

TL;DR: The first palaeoglacier-derived reconstruction of YD precipitation across Europe, determined from 122 reconstructed glaciers and proxy atmospheric temperatures, reveals a persistent SCAND-like circulation and southerly storm track during the Younger Dryas.

Cosmic ray labeling of erosion surfaces: in situ nuclide production rates and erosion models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present theoretical estimates of the production rates of isotopes of He, Ne and Ar based on available cross-section data, and discuss the implications of these parameters for single and multiple nuclide studies in terms of the erosion models considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pressure and cosmogenic isotope production
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the cosmic ray flux increases at higher altitude as air pressure and the shielding effect of the atmosphere decrease, and that altitude-dependent scaling factors are required to compensate for this effect in calculating cosmic ray exposure ages.

Development of the radiocarbon calibration program
TL;DR: This paper highlights some of the main developments to the radiocarbon calibration program, OxCal, including changes to the sampling algorithms used which improve the convergence of the Bayesian analysis.
