Museomics of Carabus giant ground beetles shows an Oligocene origin and in situ alpine diversification by Pauli, Marie T., Gauthier, Jérémy, Labédan, Marjorie, Blanc, Mickael, Bilat, Julia, Toussaint, Emmanuel F. A.

“…The dynamic paleogeographic history of the Palearctic region likely contributed to the diversification of this lineage with a relatively ancient colonization of the proto-Alps followed by in situ speciation where most species of Arcifera are currently found sometimes syntopically likely as a result of post-glaciations secondary contacts.…”

Reproductive and persistence strategy of the liverwort Arnellia fennica after the last glaciation in the area of disjunction in Central Europe (Polish Tatra Mountains, carpathians) by Piotr Górski, Monika Szczecińska, Jakub Sawicki

“…Abstract The liverwort Arnellia fennica has a circumarctic distribution with disjunct and scarce localities in the Alps, Carpathians, and Pyrenees. Within the Carpathians, it is only known from the Tatra Mountains (in Poland), where so far only four occurrences have been documented in the forest belt of the limestone part of the Western Tatras. …”

Spectral induced polarization survey for the estimation of hydrogeological parameters in an active rock glacier by C. Moser, U. Morra di Cella, C. Hauck, A. Flores Orozco

“…<p>Degrading permafrost in rock glaciers has been reported from several sites in the European Alps. Changes in ground temperature and ice content are expected to affect the hydrogeological properties of rock glaciers and in turn modify the runoff regime and groundwater recharge in high-mountain environments. …”

Separating snow and ice melt using water stable isotopes and glacio-hydrological modelling: towards improving the application of isotope analyses in highly glacierized catchments by T. Müller, T. Müller, M. Fischer, M. Fischer, S. N. Lane, B. Schaefli, B. Schaefli, B. Schaefli

“…These isotopic compositions are then used to estimate the seasonal shares of snow and ice melt in streamflow for the Otemma catchment in the Swiss Alps. The model leverages available meteorological station data (air temperature, precipitation and radiation), ice mass balance data and snow cover maps to model and automatically calibrate the catchment-scale snow and ice mass balances. …”

Creep enhancement and sliding in a temperate, hard-bedded alpine glacier by J.-P. Roldán-Blasco, A. Gilbert, L. Piard, F. Gimbert, C. Vincent, O. Gagliardini, A. Togaibekov, A. Togaibekov, A. Walpersdorf, N. Maier

“…In this study, we combine 1-year-long continuous measurements of borehole inclinometry and surface velocity with three-dimensional full-Stokes ice flow modeling to infer ice rheologies and sliding velocities for the ablation zone of the Argentière Glacier, a temperate glacier in the French Alps. We demonstrate that the observed deformation rate profile has limited sensitivity to the flow law exponent (<span class="inline-formula"><i>n</i></span>) and instead mainly reflects an increase in the creep factor (<span class="inline-formula"><i>A</i></span>) with depth, with <span class="inline-formula"><i>A</i></span> departing from its surface value by up to a factor of 2.5 below 160 m depth. …”

La datation dendrochronologique du coffrage de fondation d’une pile du pont-siphon de l’Yzeron à Beaunant (Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, Métropole de Lyon) by François Blondel, David Baldassari

“…Several supply areas can be envisaged at varying distances: the Pilat and Ardèche mountains to the south/south-west, the Lyonnais, Forez and Livradois-Forez mountains to the west and the southern part of the Jura massif as well as the northern Pre-Alps to the east. The assumed distances range from around 20 to 65 km.Comparing the correlation results between the different dated sites over a large area, the highest values are concentrated only on the ancient site of Ambert-La Masse (Puy-de-Dôme). …”
