In this review, the A. examines the relative distinctiveness of the tropical Andes by also looking for possible differences in glacial landforming process and in those occurring under paraglacial conditions.

la plupart des cas, la paraglaciation engendre un stockage de sédiments dans les têtes de bassin et le fond des auges glaciaires, le taux d'évacuation sédimentaire vers les exutoires restant faible. La paraglaciation apparaît donc comme une phase de
The dynamics of the Piave River after the last Würm glaciation can be better explained if a paraglacial period is assumed. This implies a revision of previous models which referred to anaglacial and kataglacial period. - (MR)

In Skagafjörður, a landslide-rich north–south oriented area located in northern Iceland, the AA. investigated whether spatial non-stationarity in the relationships between paraglacial variables (glacio-isostatic rebound and post-glacial

Using a unique set of circumstances presented at Austre Brøggerbreen, this preliminary study demonstrates that short-term, stochastic sediment supply processes may be coupled to paraglacial activity at the ice margins of a thinning Arctic glacier
. The observations illustrate the potential importance of the paraglacial component to the overall sediment cascade of deglaciating basins and highlight the need for careful interpretation of turbidity records, where stochastic pulses in turbidity may be attributed
This paper concentrates on the Recent and Pleistocene sediments produced in the Karakoram glacial and paraglacial environments in terms of their sedimentological characteristics, landforms and the processes that produced them. Two main types
This paper describes some possible examples of paraglacial slope failures, based on observations in the Swiss Alps, and proposes several types and magnitudes of slope response to deglaciation, which may reflect lithology, geological structure, pre
