It has long been known that mountain glaciers and continental ice sheets around the globe
reached their respective maximum extent at different times during the last glacial cycle, often …

The complex interplay of dust sedimentation, pedogenesis, and erosion/reworking in the
formation of loess-paleosol sequences (LPS) challenges paleoenvironmental proxies. Here …

Abstract The European Alps are an effective barrier for meridional moisture transport and
are thus uniquely placed to record shifts in the North Atlantic storm track pattern associated …

The Last Glacial Maximum in the Alps lasted from approximately 30 to 19 ka. Glaciers
reached out onto the forelands on both sides of the main Alpine chains, forming piedmont …

New chronologic and stratigraphic constraints from the Garda morainic amphitheater define
the extension of the last glaciation in the Adige-Sarca system and improve the Alpine LGM …

The culmination of the glaciers in the European Alps during the Last Glacial Maximum
(LGM) is one of the most intensively studied paleoglaciological events, but its trigger and …

Climatic changes over the last 50 years resulted in a decrease of permafrost extent, an
increase of permafrost temperature, and deepening of the active layer in numerous locations …

We report fault slip data from exhumed fault surfaces along the NNE trending Alpenrhein
valley and its intersection with the WNW striking Bodensee Graben near the Alpine thrust …

The evolution of the landscape and the behavior of the groundwater system are key
concerns for the long-term management of radioactive waste in deep geological …

Evidence that during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) glaciers extended well into the
piedmont plains is still identifiable in the alpine foreland as a system of well-preserved …
