Rapid age assessment of glacial landforms in the Pyrenees using Schmidt hammer exposure dating (SHED)

Schmidt hammer (SH) sampling of 54 10Be-dated granite surfaces from the Pyrenees reveals a clear relationship between exposure and weathering through time (n=52, R 2=0.96, Ptextless0.01) and permits the use of the SH as a numerical dating tool. To …

Timing of glacial retreat in the Wicklow Mountains, Ireland, conditioned by glacier size and topography

Reconstructing the deglacial history of palaeo-glaciers provides vital information on retreat processes, information which can inform predictions of the future behaviour of many of the world's glaciers. On this basis, this paper presents 170 Schmidt …
