“…Relative dates have been obtained for Holocene surfaces, including various anthropogenic features, moraines, rock glaciers, rock-falls, avalanches, debris fl ow and deltaic deposits. SH has been used only sporadically to estimate the relative age of older features, for example, glacial landforms (Sumner et al, 2002), periglacial trimlines (Ballantyne, 1997;Anderson et al, 1998), rock glaciers (Humlum, 1998;Frauenfelder et al, 2005), raised beaches (Sjöberg, 1990) and lake shorelines (Matthews et al, 1986). Limitations of the method itself have been described (McCarroll, 1989;Goudie, 2006).…”
