Cosmogenic radionuclide exposure ages from the Enns and Mur Glaciers in the Eastern Alps (Styria/Austria) Open
The European Alps were covered by a large interconnected system of valley glaciers during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Many of the glaciers advanced into the Alpine Foreland leaving large latero-frontal moraine complexes suitable for (d…

Glaciers and mass movements in the Hüttwinkl Valley (Hohe Tauern range): from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) until now Open
The Hüttwinkl Valley, the uppermost section of the Rauris Valley, offers a unique sedimentary and morphological archive to study the development of the landscape in a high-Alpine valley since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Glacial extents…

Subglacial deformation and till formation in a stratigraphic complex Late Pleistocene sequence (Einödgraben/Aurach, Kitzbühel Alps, Austria) Open
Knowledge of subglacial conditions is of great relevance in understanding glacier dynamics. A combination of micro- and macrosedimentological analysis of diamictons and deformation structures can form the basis for the reconstruction of pa…

The International Quaternary Map of Europe and Adjacent Areas: Results from mapping of extreme environments inclusive Open
The project of the International Quaternary Map of Europe project (IQUAME 2500) is a major international initiative coordinated by BGR under the auspices of the CGMW (Commission of the Geological Map of the Word, Sub-Commission Europe) and…

Reconstructing the Enns valley in the course of the ice ages based on findings on Gröbminger Mitterberg (Austria) Open
Within the Alps, the erosive effects of glaciers during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) means that evidence for earlier glaciations is rare. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), traces of the history prior to the LGM are conserved below a la…

Reconstructing basal ice flow patterns of the Last Glacial Maximum Rhine glacier (northern Alpine foreland) based on streamlined subglacial landforms Open
Based on high‐resolution (sub)glacial geomorphological mapping, we present a first digital inventory of streamlined bedforms within the footprint of a Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) Alpine piedmont glacier. A total of 2460 drumlins were mapped…

Subglacial tills: a process model based on microsedimentological clues Open
Subglacial sediments are subject to erosion, transport, and deposition in active, ephemeral, and spatially localized glacial environments. It is critical to determine how these mobilized sediments become immobilized in a time-transgressive…

Subglacial landforms reveal basal ice flow patterns of the Last Glacial Maximum Rhine glacier Open
We present new insights into the ice flow dynamics of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) Rhine glacier based on a comprehensive inventory of glacially streamlined bedforms. High-resolution LiDAR data was used to map ice-marginal moraines and m…

Filling a major gap in the LGM chronology of the Eastern Alps: New evidence from Enns and Mur glaciers (Austria) Open
During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), large glacier tongues reached far into the alpine foreland and formed piedmont lobes. Common deposits are moraine “amphitheatres” directly connected to glaciofluvial deposits, which are bo…

Landscape evolution of the Sölk Valleys and adjacent regions from the last Interglacial to today (Niedere Tauern range, Austria) Open
<p>The Gr&#246;bminger Mitterberg, an isolated flat hill located within the Enns Valley, consists of fluvial, deltaic and lake bottom sediments on top of bedrock, which are covered by subglacial till. In comparison, the sedimenta…

The Gröbminger Mitterberg (Austria): A time machine to the pre-LGM? Open
<p>The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is well understood in many parts of the European Alps, but open questions remain concerning glacial phases prior to the LGM as the record is fragmentary. The Gr&#246;bminger Mitterberg (GM), loca…

Holocene glacier change in the Silvretta Massif (Austrian Alps) constrained by a new 10Be chronology, historical records and modern observations Open
Mountain glaciers are important water resources in Alpine regions and are sensitive to climate change. Reconstructing glacier oscillations improves our understanding of the amplitude and the frequency of climate variability and resolves ti…

<p>Modern systematic studies on the record of the Alpine Lateglacial (~ 19 &#8211; 11.7 ka) are missing for the Eastern Alps east of the Hohe Tauern mountain range. In order to fill this gap, a study has been started in the Niede…

Compositional data analysis of sedimentological, mineralogical and geochemical data for the evaluation of Austrian loess and loess loam deposits Open
<p>Austrian loess and loess loam deposits represent an important source of raw materials for the heavy clay industry for centuries. Building material quality of loess and loess loam deposits and their suitability for different applic…

Microsedimentology of tills near Ainet, Austria - were palaeo-ice streams in the European Alps underlain by soft deforming bed zones? Open
Fast moving palaeo-ice masses within the European Alpine Ice Cap (EAIC) during the Last Glacial Maximum within the large valleys of the European Alps are likely comparable in terms of their subglacial conditions to ice streams that drained…
