Cryoplanation terrace orientation in Alaska

Auteur :
NELSON, F.E.

Description :
This study makes an initial step in the morphometry of landscapes containing landforms attributed to cryoplanation by examining frequency distributions of cryoplanation terrace orientation and exploring their relation with glacial cirques. Data from the Eagle Summit/Mastodon Dome area in interior Alaska indicate a possible relation between snowline elevation and the concentration of terrace orientation.
