The formation of terminal moraines dating from glacier advances during the A.D. 1990s was investigated at six temperate glaciers in the Jostedalsbreen and Jotunheimen regions of southern Norway. Morphological and sedimentological information was analysed and combined with detailed observations, photographic...
terminal moraine (Show more) See all related content moraine, accumulation of rock debris (till) carried or deposited by a glacier. The material, which ranges in size from blocks or boulders (usually faceted or striated) to sand and clay, is unstratified when dropped by the glacier and sh...
Postglacial uplift of the eastern Gulf of Finland-Lake Ladoga region: models and observations Another factor that could contributed to the regional tilt changes is Younger Dryas re-advance of the ice sheet, marked by Salpausselk盲 terminal moraine ridge system in Southern Finland. It caused local ...
During the last glaciation, the highest areas of the Jura belt were capped by an ice sheet. Petrographic studies of terminal moraines (Campy and Arn, 1991; Buoncristiani and Campy, 2004a) and cosmogenic 10Be dating of erratic boulders (Graf et al., 2015) demonstrate this ice reached its ...
The Pleistocene ice-sheet dynamics in north-central Poland based on magnetic fabrics of tills and landform analysis On the basis of detailed geomorphological studies of the area of terminal moraines, previously described in fragments, the maximum extent of the ice sheet...

Many large boulders, or "glacial erratics", are found on Long Island aspart of the moraine deposits. These boulders are most abundant on the terminal moraines, although many occur in the thin ground moraine layer deposited on the surface north of the terminal moraines as the ice melted. ...
We present an analysis of the formation and evolution of the Waiho Loop terminal moraine. Recent work has shown that the Loop comprises mainly rock avalanche material, and suggested its formation was associated with a rock-avalanche-driven glacier advance. New evidence from shallow seismic studies ...
Terminal-moraine ridges up to 6 m high have been forming at the snout of Styggedalsbreen for two decades. Based on intermittent observations during this period, combined with a detailed study of ridge morphology, sedimentary structures and composition during the 1993 field season, a model of ...
The Vitytis Upland is a terminal moraine ridge featuring kame hills. There are numerous lakes and wetlands in its depressions. We collected the samples of bottom sediments from a number of lakes and wetlands located at different altitudes. Using the results of the lithological analysis and ...
quantitative models for their formation: (i) differential erosion rates related to lateral variations in the stream velocity and (ii) lateral incursion from inter-stream ridges after the thinner stream retreats, where the shear margin moraine is consequently just a terminal moraine of the inter-...
