TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated rockfall activity during thawing periods by collecting rockfall debris fallen on the snow-covered talus slope in a cirque in the Japanese Alps.

TL;DR: In this article, Cosmogenic beryllium-10 measurements in the Wind River Range indicate that the last glacial maximum (marine oxygen isotope stage 2) was achieved there by 21,700 ± 700 berylla-10 years and lasted 5900 years.
Abstract: Accurate terrestrial glacial chronologies are needed for comparison with the marine record to establish the dynamics of global climate change during transitions from glacial to interglacial regimes. Cosmogenic beryllium-10 measurements in the Wind River Range indicate that the last glacial maximum (marine oxygen isotope stage 2) was achieved there by 21,700 ± 700 beryllium-10 years and lasted 5900 years. Ages of a sequence of recessional moraines and striated bedrock surfaces show that the initial deglaciation was rapid and that the entire glacial system retreated 33 kilometers to the cirque basin by 12,100 ± 500 beryllium-10 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the proportion of land area above the cirques drops sharply, and mean slopes > 30° indicate that the areas above these cirques may be at or near threshold steepness.
222 citations
TL;DR: In this article, 57 new 10Be ages are defined for the Ladakh and Pangong Ranges in Northwest India, and five new local glacial stages are defined, from the oldest to the youngest.
204 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed map of the distribution of preglacial surface remnants in the Kebnekaise region of northwestern Sweden, and explain the pattern of glacial erosion as the result of three specific modes of glaciation known to have existed during the last 120,000 years and inferred to have repeatedly prevailed during 2.75 million years: cirque glaciation, mountain ice sheets, and Fennoscandian ice sheets.
