A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia)
for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies. The reconstructions of glacier …

The largest terrestrial coalescent landslide areas of the Earth, spanning hundreds to
thousands of square kilometres, occur along the fringes of relatively low-relief sedimentary …

Abstract Ice-free areas occupy< 0.5% of Antarctica and are unevenly distributed across the
continent. Terrestrial ecosystem dynamics in ice free areas are strongly influenced by …

Proglacial systems are amongst the most rapidly changing landscapes on Earth, as glacier
mass loss, permafrost degradation and more episodes of intense rainfall progress with …

Soil texture is one of the most important soil properties as it drives several physical,
chemical, biological, hydrological, and mechanical properties, and processes. In Antarctica …

This paper compiles and reviews marine and terrestrial data constraining the dimensions
and configuration of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) from the Last Glacial Maximum …

Rock glaciers are widespread in the Tien Shan. However, rock glaciers in the Chinese part
of the Tien Shan have not been systematically investigated for more than 2 decades. In this …

The study of volcano-ice interactions, or'glaciovolcanism', is a field experiencing exponential
growth. This comprehensive volume presents a discussion of the distinctive processes and …

Climate change and its impacts on sensitive polar ecosystems are relatively little studied in
Antarctic regions. Permafrost and active layer changes over time in periglacial regions of the …

The recently deglaciated environments in maritime permafrost regions are usually affected
by very active paraglacial processes. Elephant Point is an ice‐free area of 1.16 km2 located …
