Depositional dynamics in the El'gygytgyn Crater margin: implications for the 3.6 Ma old sediment archive by G. Schwamborn, G. Fedorov, N. Ostanin, L. Schirrmeister, A. Andreev, the El'gygytgyn Scientific Party

“…Slope processes such as gravitational sliding and sheet flooding occur especially during spring melt and promote mass wasting into the basin. Tectonics are inferred to have initiated the fan accumulation in the first place and possibly the off-centre displacement of the crater lake.…”

Three Pleistocene glacial advances and a warm episode during MIS-3: Towards a more complete glacial history of the Pamir mountains by Konstanze Stübner, Mustafo Gadoev, Georg Rugel, Johannes Lachner, Bodo Bookhagen

“…An episode of increased mass wasting (e.g. Zuvor rockslide: 34 ± 1 ka) and glacier surging correlates with a peak in δ18O values in the Guliya ice core and is attributed to a warmer climate.…”

Trends and Composition—A Sedimentological-Chemical-Mineralogical Approach to Constrain the Origin of Quaternary Deposits and Landforms—From a Review to a Manual by Harald G. Dill

“…In this study, six basic Quaternary landform series (LFS) and their sedimentary deposits (LFS1 aeolian, LFS 2.1 to 2.2 mass wasting, LFS 3 cryogenic-glacial, LFS 4.1 to 4.6 fluvial, LFS 5.1 to 5.2 coastal-marine, LFS 6.1 to 6.3 lacustrine) are subdivided into subtypes and examined with regard to their sedimentological parameters and their mineralogical and chemical compositions. …”

NDEI-BASED MAPPING OF LAND SURFACE CHANGES by V. A. Morales, J. R. Galvis, E. G. García, I. L. Salcedo

“…For this research, a fine temporal resolution dataset of monthly NDEI values were used to explore their utility as a mass wasting identification technique. NDEI was used to map changes in the land surface in a quarry zone affected by landslides and mudflows. …”

Holocene East Asian Summer Monsoon Rainfall Variability in Taiwan by Xiaodong Ding, Liwei Zheng, Xufeng Zheng, Shuh-Ji Kao

“…Herein, we synthesize the reported lake and peat sedimentary records of the entire Holocene, in addition to the records of mass-wasting and on-land deposition from cores collected from Taiwan to illustrate the EASM induced hydroclimate changes in Taiwan throughout the Holocene. …”

Distinguishing ice-rich and ice-poor permafrost to map ground temperatures and ground ice occurrence in the Swiss Alps by R. Kenner, J. Noetzli, M. Hoelzle, H. Raetzo, M. Phillips

“…The zone of ice-rich permafrost was defined by modelling the deposition zones of alpine mass wasting processes. This dual approach allows the cartographic representation of permafrost-free belts, which are bounded above and below by permafrost. …”

Response of the benthic biomass-size structure to a high-energy submarine canyon by Chueh-Chen Tung, Yen-Ting Chen, Jian-Xiang Liao, Jian-Xiang Liao, Chih-Lin Wei

“…The GPSC is a dynamic ecosystem connected to a high sediment-yield small mountain river subjected to strong internal-tide energy, swift bottom currents, frequent mass wasting events, and high terrestrial sediment inputs.ResultsWe found that the meiofauna and macrofauna were characterized by relatively larger individuals dominating on the slope to smaller ones dominating in the canyon. …”

Turbidites as indicators of paleotopography, Upper Miocene Lake Pannon, Western Mecsek Mountains (Hungary) by Sztanó Orsolya, Sebe Krisztina, Csillag Gábor, Magyar Imre

“…These beds are far too thick and may reveal much larger volumes of mass wasting than is expected on the 20–30 m high delta slopes; however, regional seismic lines also exclude outcropping of deep-basin turbidites. …”

Taking Advantage of the ESA G-POD Service to Study Ground Deformation Processes in High Mountain Areas: A Valle d’Aosta Case Study, Northern Italy by Martina Cignetti, Andrea Manconi, Michele Manunta, Daniele Giordan, Claudio De Luca, Paolo Allasia, Francesca Ardizzone

“…The methodology is applied to the Valle d’Aosta (VDA) region, Northern Italy, an alpine area characterized by high altitudes, complex morphology, and susceptibility to different mass wasting phenomena. The approach using GPOD-SBAS allows for the obtainment of mean deformation velocity maps and displacement time series relative to the time period from 1992 to 2000, relative to ESR-1/2, and from 2002 to 2010 for ASAR-Envisat. …”

Ice-buttressing-controlled rock slope failure on a cirque headwall, Lake District, UK by P. A. Carling, P. A. Carling, J. D. Jansen, T. Su, T. Su, J. L. Andersen, M. F. Knudsen

“…The exposure age of <span class="inline-formula">12.0±0.8</span> ka represents a minimum age, as the highly fractured surface of the failure plane has experienced post-failure mass-wasting. Considering the chronology, it appears unlikely that the cirque was reoccupied by a substantial ice mass during the Younger Dryas stadial.…”
