Glaciers and ice sheets erode mountains and produce vast quantities of sediments that are
delivered to rivers and oceans, impacting global sediment and biogeochemical balances …

Closed topographic basins are found beneath contemporary ice masses and within the
footprint of former ice masses in all glaciated regions. We present the first integrated review …

Glacier-erosion rates range across orders of magnitude, and much of this variation cannot
be attributed to basal sliding rates. Subglacial till acts as lubricating 'fault gouge'or 'sawdust' …

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Water Resources Monograph
Series, Volume 19. What are the forms and processes characteristic of mountain rivers and …

Glacial cirques are armchair-shaped erosional hollows, typified by steep headwalls and,
often, overdeepened floors. They reflect former regions of glacier initiation, and their …

Most glacial erosion models assume that erosion rates are proportional to ice-sliding
velocity. While recent studies have shown that water plays a major role in modulating sliding …

This paper presents the first comprehensive analysis of sediment and dissolved load across
an entire mountain range. We investigate patterns and rates of modern denudation of the …

Identifying topographic and erosion rate response to tectonic and climatic forcing remains
challenging. This is in part because of the difficulty in isolating the respective roles of climate …

Cirques are emblematic landforms of alpine landscapes. The statistical distribution of cirque-
floor elevations is used to infer glacial equilibrium-line altitude, and the age of their frontal …

A complete inventory of the 631 glacial cirques in Romania (and adjacent Ukraine) shows
that they are scale-specific and develop allometrically, extending in length more rapidly than …
