5 paź 2020 · In actively glacierized terrain, cirques are important basins for the accumulation of snow. They may host small cirque glaciers (see image below) that are confined to their bedrock hollows, or act as the source area for larger valley glaciers. Cirque glacier (Styggebrean) in Jotunheimen National Park, Norway.
21 lis 2017 · We used ArcGIS to measure length, width, aspect, latitude and distance to coastline of each cirque. Palaeo-equilibrium-line altitudes (palaeo-ELAs) of palaeo-cirque glaciers were calculated using the altitude-ratio method, cirque-floor method and minimum-point method.
5 paź 2020 · The cirque glacier landsystem of upland Britain 6 contains landforms created directly by glacier ice, and landforms related to periglacial and paraglacial activity outside the limits of glacier cover.
26 lip 2020 · Cirques on the Faroe Islands are smaller in length and width and present at lower elevations compared to cirques located in other regions of the world. The timing of glacial occupation in these cirques is not known, and the landforms likely formed over multiple glaciations.
1 lut 2022 · Cirques are typical erosional landforms of glaciers and have been used as bases for paleoclimate and paleoenvironment reconstruction and for understanding the interactions between glacial erosion, climate, and topography.
15 lis 2020 · This glacial cirque is shaped on the northern face of the Mulhacén peak (3479 m a.s.l. 37°03′12″N/3°18′41″W), Sierra Nevada, southern Spain. It includes several depositional and erosional glacial landforms that allowed reconstructing its environmental evolution since the last glacial cycle.
1 sty 2014 · Cirque glacier is a true hybrid concept referring both to the landform it creates through erosion and evacuation of rocks and sediments (Glacial Erosion: Glaciological Variables Controlling Glacial Erosion; Glacial Geomorphology and Landforms Evolution), and to the ice body occupying it in the first place. In certain areas of the world such as ...
