Present-day uplift of the European Alps: Evaluating mechanisms and models of their relative contributions
Recent measurements of surface vertical displacements of the European Alps show a
correlation between vertical velocities and topographic features, with widespread uplift at …

The impact of glaciers on mountain erosion
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 …

Glacial erosion: status and outlook
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' …

Glacial cirques as palaeoenvironmental indicators: Their potential and limitations
ID Barr, M Spagnolo - Earth-science reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
Glacial cirques are armchair-shaped erosional hollows, typified by steep headwalls and,
often, overdeepened floors. They reflect former regions of glacier initiation, and their …

Glacial hydrology and erosion patterns: a mechanism for carving glacial valleys
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 …
