Glacial cirques are armchair-shaped erosional hollows, typified by steep headwalls and,
often, overdeepened floors. They reflect former regions of glacier initiation, and their …

Growing empirical evidence shows that many geomorphic systems are in transient state or
out of equilibrium with respect to the external driving forces. The transient state is often …

This editorial synthesis introduces a collection of papers derived from International
Geoscience Programme (IGCP) Project 518, entitled 'Fluvial Sequences as Evidence for …

Headward and downward erosion near glacier sources, at rates exceeding fluvial erosion, is
important in recent discussions of orogen development and the limits to relief. This relates to …

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 …

A complete inventory of the 631 glacial cirques in Romania (and adjacent Ukraine) shows
that they are scale-specific and develop allometrically, extending in length more rapidly than …

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 …

Cirque erosion contributes significantly to mountain denudation and is a key element of
glaciated mountain topography. Despite long-standing efforts, rates of rockwall retreat and …

The distribution of glacial cirques upon the Kamchatka peninsula, Far Eastern Russia, is
systematically mapped from satellite images and digital elevation model data. A total of 3758 …

The response of glaciated landscapes to rapid rock uplift, driven by tectonic convergence, is
an important, often neglected, aspect of proposed interactions between plate tectonic …
