The present interglacial, the Holocene, spans the period of the last 11,700 years. It has
sustained the growth and development of modern society. The millennial-scale decreasing …

A global compilation of glacier advances and retreats for the past two millennia grouped by
17 regions (excluding Antarctica) highlights the nature of glacier fluctuations during the late …

In the Alps, climatic conditions reflected in glacier and rock glacier activity in the earliest
Holocene show a strong affinity to conditions in the latest Pleistocene (Younger Dryas) …

Two well-dated ca Holocene-long sedimentary sequences from deepest parts of Lake
Bourget provide new insights onto the evolution of erosion patterns at a regional scale in …

We review the scientific efforts over the last decades to reconstruct erosion from continuous
alpine lake sediment records. We focused both on methodological issues, showing the …

Two twin short gravity cores and a long piston core recovered from the deepest part of
proglacial Lake Bramant (Grandes Rousses Massif, French Alps), under and overlying a …

Holocene glacier records from the western European Alps are still sparse, although a
number of sites are well suited to constraining pre-and early-Little Ice Age (LIA) glacier …

Rock avalanches are common in the Mont Blanc massif, which is bordered by valleys with
large resident and tourist populations and important highways. This paper combines …

Currently, about 12%–13% of High Mountain Asia's glacier area is debris-covered, which
alters its surface mass balance. However, in regional-scale modelling approaches, debris …

A major feature of the Anthropocene is the drastic increase in global soil erosion. Soil
erosion is threatening Earth habitability not only as soils are an essential component of the …
