In classic loess areas research into dust deposition and concomitant environmental changes
has a long history and numerous well-investigated loess-palaeosol sequences provide …

Mass‐transport deposits (MTDs) and related turbidites are common features in lacustrine
environments and are intercalated within uniform lacustrine background sedimentation …

In lakes, landslides can be studied in high resolution due to their accessibility and limited
size. Here, we investigate mass-transport deposits in glacigenic Wörthersee (Eastern …

The Eastern European Alps are characterized by slow active deformation with low-to
moderate seismicity. Recurrence rates of severe earthquakes exceed the time span of …

An examination of ancient and contemporary submarine landslides and their impact
Landslides are common in every subaqueous geodynamic context, from passive and active …

Although lake tsunamis constitute a rare peril, they have repeatedly occurred in peri-alpine
lakes in the past. There are several documented historical examples of landslide-triggered …

In slowly deforming tectonic settings (eg, European Alps), large earthquakes occur too
infrequently to be adequately represented in instrumental and historical records. This leads …

Although the retreat process of glaciers from the Late Glacial Maximum (LGM) is well
documented, high-resolution insight into conditions prior to the maximum is lacking in the …

The record of past environmental conditions and changes archived in lacustrine sediments
serves as an important element in paleoenvironmental and climate research. A main barrier …

Mass movements constitute major natural hazards in the Alpine realm. When triggered on
slopes adjacent to lakes, these mass movements can generate tsunami-like waves that may …
