📢 Paper alert!
Recent work by Neal Mathes et al. refines the extent of Middle Pleistocene glaciations in the Jura Mountains.
¹⁰Be/²⁶Al dating and sediment tracing show that sediments in the Grottes aux Fées were transported from the Valaisian Alps ca. 400 ka (MIS 12).

🎓Congrats to Dr. Anna Zappatini, who successfully defended her #PhD thesis “From fireball monitoring to meteorite analysis: recovery and study of fresh falls”. Wishing you all the best in the future!
📢Paper alert!
Catarina Dieleman et al. used cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al from glaciofluvial gravels, finding that Alpine glaciers and meltwater carved the Swiss foreland twice as fast during a major climate shift 1 Ma ago than they do today

Today, natural disasters in alpine valleys pose a continuous threat to urban areas and infrastructure. Investigating past mass movements and assessing their return periods enhances our ability to pred...
Abstract. Quantifying erosion across spatial and temporal scales is essential for assessing different controlling mechanisms and their contribution to long-term sediment production. However, the…
Proglacial settings in the Alps are typically polygenetic, often characterized by a complex and discontinuous interplay between glacial, fluvial and gravitational processes. These processes yield…
The formation of secondary Al-hydroxysulfates is environmentally important as they regulate aluminum concentrations in acidic environments and may ser…
Previous studies have shown the utility of Molybdenum (Mo) concentrations and isotopic compositions as sensitive recorders for changes in redox condit…
