Toward mountains without permanent snow and ice
The cryosphere in mountain regions is rapidly declining, a trend that is expected to
accelerate over the next several decades due to anthropogenic climate change. A cascade …

(U-Th)/He chronology: Part 1. Data, uncertainty, and reporting
The field of (U-Th)/He geochronology and thermochronology has grown enormously over
the past∼ 25 years. The tool is applicable across much of geologic time, new (U-Th)/He …

(U-Th)/He chronology: Part 2. Considerations for evaluating, integrating, and interpreting conventional individual aliquot data
Abstract The (U-Th)/He dating technique is an essential tool in Earth science research with
diverse thermochronologic, geochronologic, and detrital applications. It is now used in a …

Limited influence of climate change mitigation on short-term glacier mass loss
Glacier mass loss is a key contributor to sea-level change,, slope instability in high-mountain
regions, and the changing seasonality and volume of river flow,–. Understanding the …

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 cirques as palaeoenvironmental indicators: Their potential and limitations
Glacial cirques are armchair-shaped erosional hollows, typified by steep headwalls and,
often, overdeepened floors. They reflect former regions of glacier initiation, and their …
