This study assesses Little Ice Age (LIA) lake sediment morphological and geochemical records and moraine chronologies in the upper Fraser River watershed, British Columbia, to resolve differences in paleoenvironmental interpretation and to clarify

In the southernmost tract of the Alps (Italian-French Maritime Alps), extensively covered by glaciers during the Last Glacial Maximum, about 30 small glaciers were present by the end of the Little Ice Age. The aim of this paper is to document

seasonal mobility between coast, fjords and inland existed. The cooling of the Little Ice Age, interpreted from the analysed data, does not affect the Inuit exploitation of the research area or their material culture in general. The main Inuit response
The classic U-shaped valley is a typical expression of glacial erosion, but situations can occur where the glacier effects little to no change in the landscape. Two present-day examples are provided and arguments advanced for this situation

A parameterization by Haeberli and Hoelzle (1995) was applied to the glacier inventory data of Jotunheimen, for 3 distinct time steps : ‘Little Ice Age’ maximum, 1980s, and 2003. Input data are measured or mapped values of the surface area

To investigate the processes that regulate sediment fluxes in muddy coastlines, the AA. measured tidal velocity and sediment concentration in Little Constance Bayou, a tidal channel in the Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana, USA. The tidal
