... of the Rhone Glacier, Switzerland. Results show that during the Holocene, the glacier was smaller than today for 6500 ± 2000 yr and larger than today for 4500 ± 2000 yr. This pattern is consistent with limited data from other techniques for glaciers in the Alps and Scandinavia, but in contrast to glaciers from...

... and 10 Be (see Hippe et al. 2014 for details). Data from the Gotthard Pass bedrock (blue points; Hippe et al. 2014 ) display continuous exposure, while data from the Rhone Glacier bedrock (orange points; Goehring et al. 2011 ) suggest burial (by the Rhone Glacier) for at least several thousand years...

...Figure 9. Rodolphe Blanchet’s “Carte du glacier du Rhône dans le bassin Lémanique pendant la période alluvienne” ( Blanchet 1844 ) was constructed with data provided by Arnold Guyot. It was a first attempt to map the erratic terrain: Blanchet showed the location of moraines, of areas...

... Abstract The Pliocene ria, a narrow seaway running up the Rhône Valley, has been mapped for a while by field geologists. Only much later, after the DSDP Leg 13 in 1970, a consensus was reached that this unique geological feature of the Rhône Valley was created by the major Mediterranean sea-level...

... to Aarburg ( Schlatter et al., 2005 ). The most recent imprints on the Alpine landscape are related to Pleistocene glacial cycles, with glacial erosion peaking ca. 0.8–1.0 Ma ( Haeuselmann et al., 2007 ). The largest, thickest ( Kelly et al., 2004 ), and presumably most erosive glaciers were sourced...

... to their foothills forming piedmont glaciers with several ice lobes during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Very large ice lobes are located north of the Alps, which are from the west to east the Lyonnais, Rhône, Reuss, Rhine and Isar-Loisach ice lobes. These ice lobes are much smaller in the southern part...

... at the Glacier Giétroz). Before the outburst, the lake was approximately 2 km in length and 60 m deep. Engineering works started to evacuate the water into the Rhone valley, partly successfully. But on 16th of June 1818, the natural glacial dam broke and the lake outburst suddenly released an estimated flood...

It is no exaggeration to say that a complete collection may quickly and easily be gathered, from the banks of the Arve and the Rhone or the puddingstones of St. Jean and Bois de la Bâtie, of all the rocks making up the vast chain of the Valaisian and Savoy Alps, from the oldest granite...
