Although impacts of forest harvesting on landslide initiation has been widely reported, the effects of forest harvesting on the occurrence of debris flows remains unclear. We propose that forest harvesting will differentially affect the susceptibility of debris flows amongst catchments with different terrain characteristics. This hypothesis was assessed in the Sanko catchment, Japan, where comprehensive forest harvest records date back to 1913. The frequency of debris flows directly originating from landslides occurred in similar timeframes as the occurrence of landslides. Landslides that reached channels and continued downstream as debris flows were more prevalent in steep channel reaches with small hillslope-channel junction angles. In addition to the increase in the frequency of landslides, especially within 10 years after forest harvesting, debris flows caused by mass movement of channel deposits in steep reaches increased during this period. These relationships between the occurrence of debris flows and channel topography indicate a high susceptibility of debris flow occurrence after forest harvesting in first and zero-order mountain streams. Sediment previously routed into channel networks by landslides is likely a more important factor for in-channel debris flow initiation in the lower channel reaches, while instability of areas proximate to riparian zones, including stream banks and geomorphic hollows, possibly accelerate occurrence of debris flows in upper channel reaches. Consequently, catchment topography should be considered in evaluating debris flow risk after forest harvesting.","PeriodicalId":55112,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series A-Physical Geography","volume":"5 1","pages":"259 - 272"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83662081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on detailed sedimentological and palynological studies, the roles of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet (SIS) advances and changing climate in the evolution of sedimentary environments is considered. At the Reda site, northern Poland, vertically stacked, 25 m thick glacigenic and fluvial successions were distinguished and divided into four depositional complexes. Two glacigenic units (R1 and R 2), representing two SIS advances in study area, are separated by two fluvial units (R2 and R3). The first SIS advance recorded at the Reda site took place at the end of MIS 8. Proglacial fluvial systems transported material along the ice margin towards the NW (R1 complex). Migration of the forebulge during deglaciation led to incision and opened the outflow towards the SW. During the younger part of MIS 7, the older fluvial unit (R2 complex) was deposited in a sand-bed braided fluvial system in boreal climate conditions. Local erosion and change in the sedimentation style into a meandering one under periglacial conditions took place (R3 complex). The progressive cooling of the climate towards the end of MIS 6 resulted in another SIS transgression and deposition of coarse-grained sediments (R4 complex) in the ice-marginal zone during deglaciation. SIS played a key role in the formation of R1 and R4 complexes. Glacial processes managed the reshaping the landscape through the erosion of older sediments and in the formation of accommodation space. Glacioisostatic movement controlled accommodation space, accumulation-erosion ratio, size of catchment and morphology of the valley.","PeriodicalId":55112,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series A-Physical Geography","volume":"27 1","pages":"223 - 258"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83277378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study area is the Mafadi–Njesuthi summit zone, one of the highest alpine regions of southern Africa. Rock weathering results indicate that clasts in large sorted circle centres experience high chemical weathering rates on both exposed (upper) and non-exposed (lower) surfaces, whereas clasts in lobes and very large apparently ‘relict’ sorted circles have been inactive for a prolonged period of time, based on strongly contrasting weathering rates on both exposed and non-exposed clast surfaces. Large sorted circles originating from a previous (possibly Last Glacial Maximum or late-glacial) colder period are still marginally or episodically active, thus restricting plant succession on these landforms. Even where very large sorted circles and turf-/stone-banked lobes are inactive, their legacy continues, as expressed in today’s surface morphology, and still influence ground abiotic conditions through the generation of microrelief and microclimate which in turn have impacts on ecosystem patterns including the distribution of H. trilineatum. Such shrub growth patterns are influenced by microscale site morphology, associated abiotic controls, and ongoing seasonal cryogenic activity. Both active and inactive periglacial landforms on highest summits of the Drakensberg represent microscale environments with distinct fine-scale abiotic and geomorphic settings, which in turn are manifested through differences in plant ecology and rock surface weathering, respectively.","PeriodicalId":55112,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series A-Physical Geography","volume":"15 3 1","pages":"199 - 222"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85041908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While much has been written on the effect of climate change on glaciers in the Himalaya and its impact on sustainability, almost nothing has been published on rock glaciers in the region and their role in maintaining water supplies as the climate warms. Rock glaciers are important components of the Himalayan hydrological system because they are present in almost all regions of the Himalaya and are climatically more resilient than other glacier types owing to an insulating layer of debris cover. Research from other mountain regions shows that they contain potentially important water stores, although in the Himalaya, there is almost no information on their number, spatial distribution and response to future climate change. The extent to which this contributes to higher resilience of the Himalayan cryosphere as a whole is still an open question. This paper argues that research into Himalayan rock glaciers that reveals their hydrological significance is critical for underpinning climate change adaptation strategies and to ensure that this highly populated region is in a strong position to meet sustainable development goals.","PeriodicalId":55112,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series A-Physical Geography","volume":"27 1","pages":"1 - 7"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83466051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, an increase of rockfall activity has been observed which is probably related to the destabilization of rock slopes through climate-related changes of the mountain cryosphere. This study investigates the rockfall distribution during a 4-year monitoring period by systematic observation with bi-temporal Airborne Laser Scanning DTMs in an area of 610.7 km² in the Ötztal Alps/Tyrol, Austria. The analyses of the 93 detected rockfall events indicate that rockfall activity is highest in proglacial areas. Further 83.9% of all rockfall source areas were mapped in bedrock where the modelled mean annual ground temperature (MAGT) indicates perennial frozen conditions. The results demonstrate the importance of thermal effects on the destabilization of rock faces and show that the triggering of rockfalls is closely related to changes in the glacier and permafrost regime. 18 low-magnitude rockfalls with volumes between 69 ± 3 m³ and 8420 ± 89 m³ are examined in detail. On the base of the analysis of these events energy line angles of 28.7° for the Fahrböschung and 19.9° for the minimum shadow angle can be derived and significantly longer runout distances on glaciated rockfall paths are observed.","PeriodicalId":55112,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series A-Physical Geography","volume":"1 1","pages":"83 - 102"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77076372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Raunis site, central-eastern Latvia, is an example where organic beds have already gained some attention and been used to understand the complex interactions between advance and retreat of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet in the region. Sandy interlayers have so far not been investigated in detail and their time of deposition has also been unknown, therefore exploring these clastic-organic sediment alternation is of interest. This study provides a new set of luminescence datings along with sedimentological information from the character of individual quartz grains as detected from scanning electron microscope analysis. Sandy interlayers are dated to between 12 and 122 ka. Fast component OSL signal dominates in all investigated samples, but several samples have broad and/or skewed dose distributions. Only one sample is considered reliable and provides an age of 12.0 ± 0.6 ka. A radiocarbon age from organic sediments in the same unit yields an age of 14 025 ± 270 cal y BP. These two dates do not agree within 2 sigma, and this is likely related to reservoir and hard water effects of the radiocarbon sample. Sediments at the Raunis site fall into the Greenland Interstadial 1, but more detailed specification is not possible. The rest of the OSL ages are older than expected, likely due to incomplete bleaching during deposition. This means that stratigraphic reliability of this key site is likely hampered for further regional correlation.","PeriodicalId":55112,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series A-Physical Geography","volume":"56 1","pages":"376 - 396"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85224833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most of the rock glaciers are considered relict and have fronts between 1412 and 2645 m.

The vast majority of the rock glaciers (73%) are concentrated in the northern quadrant. Statistical analysis revealed that the size of the rock glaciers can be explained to a certain degree by the characteristics of the contributing area (e.g. its extent and elevation range), climate, aspect, altitude and slope. In Pirin Mountains the density of the rock glaciers and the mean specific area are considerably higher than in the other mountain ranges. Based on palaeoclimate reconstructions and climatological records we infer that at least three generations of rock glaciers developed in the Balkan Peninsula.

Field-based geomorphologic evidence suggests that the glacial episode 1 (GEI) experienced the most extensive glaciation in the Hoksar valley extending ∼1 km down the valley (altitude 3565 m) from the current snout position of the Hoksar Glacier (altitude 3680m). Lichenometric dating of the moraines suggests that the GE1 episode is chronologically the oldest (∼480 ± 25 years) and GE6 episode the youngest (∼245 ± 10 years). The mean equilibrium line altitude (ELA) during the GE1 episode was calculated as 3755 ± 4 m compared to the observed present ELA position of 4060 ± 5 m, an upward shift of 305 m observed during the period. The spatio-temporal changes of the Hoksar Glacier during different episodes of the glacier advances until 2018 showed that the glacier area has shrunk from ∼212 ha during the GE1 to 100 ha at present losing an area of 112 ha (52%) during the period mainly as a result of the recent climate change. The recent observed glacier recession (1980–2018) is much higher (11 000 m2 a−1) compared to the past recession (1300 m2 a−1). The study provides valuable insights about the glacier recession in the Kashmir Himalayan region during the Late Holocene where knowledge about the past glacial history on a regional scale is generally poorly investigated.","PeriodicalId":55112,"journal":{"name":"Geografiska Annaler Series A-Physical Geography","volume":"32 1","pages":"51 - 68"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76747940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
