In the face of rapid climate warming, rapid glacier recession should lead to a marked
increase in the spatial extent of the paraglacial zone in glaciated drainage basins. The …

Abstract Changes in land use related to mining in the north-western mountains of Spain are
analysed. We studied 15 representative types of mining activity in the Sil River basin (León …

Abstract During the Late Pleistocene, the main mountain ranges of the Iberian Peninsula
were covered by small icefields and cirque and alpine glaciers. The deglaciation triggered …

Several glaciers developed in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW Spain) during the last glacial
maximum (LGM). In the last 15 years, several studies of glacial geomorphology have …

Information on the nature of processes occurring in modern glaciers can be obtained
through the study of diamictons and landforms that are the product of past glaciations …

Deglaciated mountainous areas are usually affected by a great range of paraglacial
processes that involve progressively denudation of glacial imprints. This study focuses on …

A total of 156 glacial cirques located on two different areas in the Cantabrian Mountains (NW
Spain) were identified and measured in order to continue and expand the study of these …

The combined usage of till-fabric and grain-size analysis in the sedimentological
interpretation of glacial diamictons allows the reconstruction of the processes responsible for …

Relict rock glaciers are widespread in the Cantabrian Mountains, with more than 250 lobate,
tongued‐shaped and complex landforms identified. Located mostly within glacial cirques …

Till macrofabric and grain-size analysis of glacial diamictons and landforms present in
several valleys of the Serra da Estrela Mountains in central Portugal were used to interpret …
