Time for some #geomorphology, with these great examples of relict, transitional and active #periglacial landforms (mostly rock glaciers) from the Italian #Dolomites. Aren't they fascinating?
Very pleased to report a new review paper by Sunil Tamang on mapping rock glaciers using AI and remote sensing. It is open access.

This #clubmoss is a true #periglacial #relict, a living reminder of the region’s ancient past. The survival of such species in these isolated, high-altitude #environments provides valuable insights into the history of #Dartmoor’s flora.

One of the most remarkable features of Sharpitor is the presence of Fir Clubmoss (Huperzia selago), a #periglacial relict plant that is a living remnant of the colder climatic conditions that once dominated the region during the last Ice Age.

Fir Clubmoss, a rare #periglacial relict plant, has been discovered on DPA land at #Sharpitor. Our #Ecologist and Land Manager, Dr Luke Sutton, identified colonies of this fascinating #moss living in ideal conditions between #granite boulders.

Very exciting to grow lenses of segregation #ice and observe frost heave in our final year #periglacial lab today @hertsgep @uniofherts.bsky.social
3 weeks to go til our @hertsgep final year #Glacial and #Periglacial #fieldtrip to #Snowdonia @UniofHerts @uniofhertslms @RGS_IBG #fieldwork #ChooseGeography
Is this the Marvel Universe? No, it is Tor country near Alexandra, Central Otago, New Zealand. #geomorphology #periglacial #weathering #geoscience #ucnz
Nice raised beach deposits (~+4 m OD) of possible MIS7 or 5e age, with #periglacial head and windblown sands at #Godrevy #Quaternary #Kernow
