The relatively warm climate conditions prevailing today in the Mediterranean region limit
cold geomorphological processes only to the highest mountain environments. However …

We report the first glacial chronology of Mt. Karanfil (3059 m above sea level; asl), a small
mountain in the south-central Taurus Range in Turkey. Well-preserved terminal and lateral …

Fourteen mountains in the eastern Mediterranean, between southern Turkey and Lebanon,
are high enough to support Quaternary valley glaciers or ice caps. The timing of the …

Glaciers respond quickly to climatic changes and thus they are considered to be very
accurate indicators of changes in atmospheric conditions. Similarly, the extent of past …

Abstract The Eastern Black Sea Mountains, located in the northeastern region of Anatolia
and running parallel to the Black Sea coast, underwent glaciation during the Quaternary …

Although alpine periglacial studies in Anatolia date back to the 1950s, the distribution of
periglacial areas and their general characteristics are poorly known. At present, geographic …

Although Turkey is a mid-latitude country, because of its relatively high topography it hosted
Quaternary glaciers on its mountains. Some of these high mountains (> 3500 m above sea …

Situated between one of the world's most tectonically active regions, the Anatolian
Peninsula forms a relatively small orogenic plateau (mean altitude 1132 m asl) that has …

The Aladağlar is a mountain range located in the central Taurus Mountains (37° 45′ N, 35°
15′ E) along the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, dominated by geomorphic features …

In view of the rapid and accelerating glacier retreat observed worldwide, the creation of an
updated glacier inventory is fundamental to understand the glacier changes. Here we …
