Glacial cirques as palaeoenvironmental indicators: Their potential and limitations
ID Barr, M Spagnolo - Earth-science reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
Glacial cirques are armchair-shaped erosional hollows, typified by steep headwalls and,
often, overdeepened floors. They reflect former regions of glacier initiation, and their …

Cirques have growth spurts during deglacial and interglacial periods: Evidence from 10Be and 26Al nuclide inventories in the central and eastern Pyrenees
Cirques are emblematic landforms of alpine landscapes. The statistical distribution of cirque-
floor elevations is used to infer glacial equilibrium-line altitude, and the age of their frontal …

Glaciers, rock avalanches and the 'buzzsaw'in cirque development: Why mountain cirques are of mainly glacial origin
IS Evans - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
It has been proposed that most cirques are source‐area depressions of large, deep‐seated
rock‐slope failures. Yet the close relation between cirques and climate is convincing …

Present and past glaciation on Pluto
Modern N 2 ice glaciers flow from highlands to the east of the 750× 1400 km 2 lowland of
Sputnik Planum [SP] and merge with the ices of similar composition on SP. We explore the …

Bedrock sculpting under an active alpine glacier revealed from cosmic-ray muon radiography
Mountain glaciers form landscapes with U-shaped valleys, roche moutonées and
overdeepenings through bedrock erosion. However, little evidence for active glacial carving …

[HTML][HTML] Equilibrium line altitudes of alpine glaciers in Alaska suggest Last Glacial Maximum summer temperature was 2–5 C lower than during the pre-industrial
The lack of continental ice sheets in Alaska during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 26–19
ka) has long been attributed to extensive aridity in the western Arctic. More recently, climate …

The dynamics of mountain erosion: cirque growth slows as landscapes age
Glacial cirques are widely used palaeoenvironmental indicators, and are key to
understanding the role of glaciers in shaping mountain topography. However, notable …
