Pleistocene glacier chronology of the Serra do Gerês (Northern Portugal) — The dating of glacialfeatures by cosmogenic 2 1Ne isotopes in the Serra do Gerês have permitted to distinguish several glacierphases in which until the moment was considered a single one attributed to the Würm. The resulting dataare roughly consistent with the previous geomorphologic model for the area and improves the chronologicalaccuracy and the understanding of the pleistocene glacial dynamics in Northern Portugal.
