Interdecadal patterns of total sediment yield from a montane catchment, southern Coast Mountains, British Columbia, Canada

Early and late Holocene sediment yield of Austdalsbreen glacier, southwest Norway

“…Schiefer et al (2000Schiefer et al ( , 2010 used lake sediment records to investigate historical changes in sediment yields. Larsen and Mangerud (1981) and Larsen and Stalsberg (2004) studied the glaciolacustrine rhythmites and determined erosion rates of a Younger Dryas cirque glacier at Kråkenes in western Norway from analyses of bed sediments of a former proglacial lake.…”

Late Holocene Glacier fluctuations in southernmost Patagonia.

“…I thus re examined the wet sediments from the archived halves of each of the four cores for marker horizons and allowed the sediments to slowly dry while continuously photographing them (Gilbert, 1975;Menounos, 2006;Schiefer et al, 2010). Using the photographs of partially dried sediments, I counted and measured individual laminae in each of the four cores.…”

“…A less direct method is to document long-term changes in the amount and calibre of sediment carried by glacial meltwater into a proglacial lake Schiefer et al, 2010). A combination of terrestrial and lacustrine records often provides a superior chronology of glacier fluctuations (Menounos et al, 2004;Osbom et al, 2007).…”

A model for Holocene glacial erosion at Peyto Glacier, Alberta.

“…The volume represents a mean specific sediment yield of approximately 80 Mg km~2 a -1, assuming a sediment density of 1950 kg m~3. This is a long-term average deposition rate, so an error margin of 30% is included to be representative of interannual variability [Schiefer et al, 2010],…”
