Glaciers, rock avalanches and the ‘buzzsaw’ in cirque development: Why mountain cirques are of mainly glacial origin

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4810
Abstract: 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 evidence of the dominance of glacial erosion, rather than rock‐slope… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2019.106986
Abstract: Abstract The equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) of reconstructed palaeoglaciers have been widely used to assess palaeoclimatic conditions, yet this concept has rarely been tested using modern glaciers. To address this shortcoming, correlations between the ELAs of… read more here.

Rapid deglaciation during the Bølling-Allerød Interstadial in the Central Pyrenees and associated glacial and periglacial landforms

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2021.107735
Abstract: Abstract The Central Pyrenees hosted a large ice cap during the Late Pleistocene. The cirques under relatively low-altitude peaks (2200–2800 m) include the greatest variety of glacial landforms (moraines, fossil debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers), but… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.06.034
Abstract: Abstract In this study, fossil debris-covered glaciers are investigated and dated in the Sierra de la Demanda, northern Spain. They are located in glacial valleys of approximately 1 km in length, where several moraines represent distinct… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02723646.2021.1928871
Abstract: ABSTRACT Morphological characteristics of cirques have been studied for decades; however, no repeatable set of metrics has been derived that can consistently identify them. Perhaps more importantly, there is no consensus definition of the form… read more here.

Cirques of the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau and Their Links to Climatic and Non-Climatic Factors
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"
DOI: 10.3390/ijerph192013104
Abstract: Cirque morphology is used to reflect the patterns of paleoclimate, paleoglaciation, and landscape evolution. Cirque study has been conducted in the Gangdise Mountains of the southern Tibetan Plateau (TP) and the central TP (dominated by… read more here.
