Direct response of small non-glaciated headwater catchments to Late Quaternary climate change: The Valle de la Fueva, southern Pyrenees

This research shows that small non-glaciated mountain catchments feature valuable high-resolution morpho-sedimentary archives that are useful for assessing the direct impact of major climate transitions on surface processes and landscape transformation in mountain regions. Improvements in quantifying the timing and rates of (paleo-) surface processes are vital for enhancing regional glaciofluvial chronologies and large-scale basin erosion models that are possibly afflicted with time-averaging biases.
