Abstract. The glacial landscape of the Alps has fascinated generations explorers, artists, mountaineers, and scientists with its diversity, including erosional features all scales from high-mountain cirques to steep valleys large overdeepened basins. Using previous glacier modelling results empirical inferences bedrock erosion under modern glaciers, we compute a distribution potential in over l...

the presence of glacial deposits is among the most important evidences of quaternary climatic changes. the aalamkooh and thakht-e-solieman glaciers are the samples of those glaciers in the alborz mountains. all iranian and foreign researchers who have worked on the alamkooh glaciers believe the glaciers of northern alborz are parts of active ones in iran. the objective of this research is inves...

The Central Pyrenees hosted a large ice cap during the Late Pleistocene. cirques under relatively low-altitude peaks (2200–2800 m) include greatest variety of glacial landforms (moraines, fossil debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers), but their age formation process are poorly known. Here, we focus on headwaters Garonne River, namely Bacivèr Cirque (highest at ~2600 m), with widespread eros...

The emergence of glacial lakes is a significant consequence global climate change in high mountain regions. Recent developments ice thickness modelling combined with high-resolution glacier surface data led to the generation approaches simulate ice-free bedrock topography below current glaciers and detect potential bed overdeepenings (GBO) that may form into future lakes. We simulated subglacia...

The morphology of glacial valley can be described in terms of power law or quadratic equations fitted to valley cross-profiles. These two models are used to study the cross-profiles of 86 valley cross-profiles in the Zardkuh Mountain in order to understand the evolutional patterns of valleys. Assessment of using the power law function indicates that b values for both valley sides range from 1.0...
