| Description | Periglacial research in Europe has progressed substantially over the last decades in parallel to a better comprehension of the past and present-day cold-climate geomorphological processes that have shaped the current landscape of this continent. Advances on glacial geomorphology have been complemented with a better characterisation of the spatial distribution of periglacial landforms and deposits in Europe as well as of their palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic significance. In this sense, the progress on dating techniques have allowed to refine the chronology of the development of periglacial features, which is crucial to understand the time scales, climate conditions and geomorphological processes behind their formation. |
