Climate change has repeatedly been framed as the defining issue of the Anthropocene and with the Arctic changing at unpreceded speed need is high for a profound understanding of the Northern Swedish landscape. Northern Swedish aeolian sand dunes have been impacted by climatic changes throughout time. Their location, orientation and geomorphometry c...
This Tools of the Trade article focuses on why and how using drones is beneficical to investigating rock glacier kinematics.
Understanding past landscape dynamics of the European Arctic is crucial for predicting how current and future climate changes will affect this sensitive
region. Aeolian sand dunes serve as important climate archives, with their shape, size, and orientation offering insights into historical wind patterns, sediment sources, and landscape stability....
Detailed analyses of rock glacier change are essential in the Dry Andes, where rock glaciers store essential waters whose input to hydrological systems are forecast to gain relative importance due to climate change. The rugged terrain and high elevation present challenges when conducting high-resolution monitoring with demanding UAV flying, and ste...
Geomorphica (http://geomorphica.org) is a community-led and -driven scientific journal that fosters academic discourse and research advances in the field of geomorphology. It is hosted by Penn State University Libraries and supported by the International Association of Geomorphology. Geomorphica adds to the growing family of Diamond Open-Access jou...
Glacial and periglacial landforms in the semi-arid Andes represent an essential water storage and feed regional river runoff. Glacial and periglacial systems are undergoing change. The analysis of surficial changes provides local patterns and indicates potential meltwater contribution to runoff. It is important to understand such changing processes...
Within the extensive periglacial belt of the dry Andean high mountain range (17°30'S to 35°S), the most visible expression of creeping mountain permafrost is the occurrence of rock glaciers, which have been studied systematically in the last decades (e.g. Schrott, 1996; Trombotto et al., 1999; Halla et al. 2021). Active, inactive and relict rock gl...
Current climate change in the Arctic is unprecedented in the instrumental record, with profound consequences for the environment and landscape. In Arctic Sweden, aeolian sand dunes have been impacted by climatic changes since their initial formation after the retreat of the last glacial ice sheet. Dune type, location and orientation can therefore b...
In high mountain regions, climatic conditions are a key factor in the development of permafrost. Next to altitudinal impact, topo-climatic and subsurface conditions further influence the occurrence of permafrost. As a result, mountain regions show extremely irregular periglacial distribution patterns which cannot be simply estimated by lapse rates...
Extensive areas in mountain regions are under permafrost conditions with periglacial processes in the arid Andes of Argentina being mostly associated with high mountain permafrost. The most visible expression of creeping mountain permafrost within the periglacial altitudinal belt (between 35º and 27ºS), is the occurrence of rock glaciers. Beside sn...
In the last three years, an initiative has grown in the geoscientific community to create diamond open access journals, which are free to access, free to read, and free to publish, for all. This started with Volcanica, and now, Seismica, Tektonika and Sedimentologika have launched their own community-led, field-specific journals.
One key component...
The Andean cryosphere hosts major freshwater sources for proximal and distal inland lowlands in river catchments especially in arid and semi arid regions, providing runoff and groundwater recharge. As many watersheds in the semiarid Andes of Argentina are not at all glacierized (ice glacier) but generate numerous creeks and small rivers, periglacia...
