Deglaciation and erosion during the Holocene period left distinct landforms across the European Alps, such as debris ridges deposited at the snout of a glacier. Research shows that erosion has decreased in recent years. Phys.org explores what role climate change has played in the reduction and how it could impact mountain-dwelling communities. https://flip.it/qTg367

1. Research suggests European Alps eroding slower than >10,000 years ago
  
  Deglaciation during the Holocene (last ~17,000 years) has had significant impacts on the surrounding mountainous environments as glaciers retreated and left distinct landforms in their wake, such as debris ridges (moraines) deposited at the snout during retreat.
