Twelve glaciers, representing various types, were investigated between 2000 and 2005, in a
region adjacent to the northern reaches of Billefjorden, central Spitsbergen (Svalbard). On …

Extensive ice-cored moraine complexes are common elements, marking the last advance of
many Svalbard glaciers. Sediment gravity flows are among the most dynamic processes …

Ice-cored moraine complexes are prominent landforms characteristic of many polythermal
glacial landsystems on Svalbard, usually marking their maximum Little Ice Age extent …

Melting Svalbard glaciers have been recognized as an early indicator of climate change.
Large parts of Svalbard remain insufficiently investigated, including Dickson Land, in the …

In this study, the distribution, morphometry and morphology of alluvial fans and colluvial
cones were investigated in a high-Arctic, periglacial environment. The main aims were to …

The micromorphology of quartz grains in a sedimentary environment is determined by the
transport mechanism and the nature of weathering. Both these aspects change during the …

Quantitative measurements of aeolian activity at high latitudes are not currently carried out
on a large scale, even though these processes are important elements of the geomorphic …

The relationships between meteorological conditions, permafrost active layer thickness and
thermal structure were studied for a dry, polar climate site, next to Petunia− bukta (central …

The paper discuss the morphologic expression and sedimentological record left after the
operation of glacial episodes in the area of Billefjorden, central Spitsbergen, in the period of …

A series of investigations of water and sediment discharge from the glacierized Ebba River
catchment (53 km 2, located in the Billefjorden area in the central part of Spitsbergen) was …
