Données nouvelles sur l’âge du dernier maximum glaciaire dans les Alpes méridionales françaises

Last Glacial Maximum and the Gschnitz stadial in the Maritime Alps according to 10Be cosmogenic dating

“…14 C a BP) (Jorda et al . ). The only ‘dissonant voice’ is that of the Rhòne glacier on the northern side of the Western Alps: studies in the Evian area appear to show that the maximum expansion occurred prior to MIS 2 (Guiter et al .…”

“…T etti B andito refers to the palaeo‐ G esso glacier (this paper); Rourebeau to the Durance glacier (Jorda et al . ); St Sauver to the Tinée glacier (Bigot‐Cormier et al . ); Evian to the Rhône glacier (Guiter et al .…”

Slope instability in relation to glacial debuttressing in alpine areas (Upper Durance catchment, southeastern France): Evidence from field data and 10Be cosmic ray exposure ages

“…Current knowledge of the pattern of deglaciation is deduced from geomorphic mapping of glacial remnants and from radiocarbon dates. The Ubaye and Verdon valleys (southern flank of the study area) were probably free of ice between 20 and 15 14 C ka BP (Montjuvent, 1973;Jorda, 1988Jorda, , 1993Jorda et al, 2000;Rosique, 2004), while in the western part of the Massif des Ecrins (northwestern flank of the study area), some radiocarbon dates imply that the glacier front stayed at about 1800 m a. s.l. until the Early Holocene (Edouard, 1979;Coûteaux, 1983a,b,c;Coûteaux and Edouard, 1987;Chardon, 1991).…”

Multi-scale factors controlling the pattern of floodplain width at a network scale: The case of the Rhône basin, France

“…1; Orengo, 1973;Campy and Richard, 1988;Jorda et al, 2000;Coutterand and Nicoud, 2005;Coutterand, 2010) and 1:250,000 geological maps. Although uncertainties remain about the exact extent of the glaciations, errors can be expected to be minor compared to the scale of this study (Table 1).…”
