Debris flows and snow avalanche landforms in the Lairig Ghru, Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland
  • Debris flows and snow avalanche landforms in the Lairig Ghru, Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland
  • Avalanche ; Debris flow ; Earth surface processes ; Mountain ; Scotland ; Snow ; United Kingdom
  • This paper presents a discussion of the evidence from the Lairig Ghru in the Cairngorm Mountains and explores the relationships between snow avalanche and debris flow activity. Although isolated examples of snow avalanche landforms have now been
  • described from other sites in Scotland, the Lairig Ghru and Central Cairngorms contain the greatest density and most clearly developed snow avalanche landforms yet described from Scotland.
Cosmogenic Be 10 and Al 26 exposure ages of tors and erratics, Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland : timescales for the development of a classic landscape of selective linear glacial erosion
  • Cosmogenic Be 10 and Al 26 exposure ages of tors and erratics, Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland : timescales for the development of a classic landscape of selective linear glacial erosion
  • The AA. present 31 cosmogenic nuclide analyses of large, well-developed tors from a key locality. Because Cairngorm tors have been subject to burial by multiple glaciations, exposure has not been constant and an ice cover duration model is required
  • to interpret nuclide data as ages. The measurements permit testing of the hypothesis of a pre-Quaternary age for Cairngorm tors.
Weathering pits as indicators of the relative age of granite surfaces in the Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland
  • Weathering pits as indicators of the relative age of granite surfaces in the Cairngorm Mountains, Scotland
  • Erratic boulder ; Glacial erosion ; Glacial features ; Granite ; Isotope dating ; Mountain ; Scotland ; United Kingdom ; Weathering

Scottish Landform Examples: The Cairngorms – A Pre-glacial Upland Granite Landscape
  • Scottish Landform Examples: The Cairngorms – A Pre-glacial Upland Granite Landscape
  • Cairngorm Mountains ; Erosion glaciaire ; Granite ; Géomorphologie ; Modèle ; Relief préglaciaire ; Royaume-Uni ; Scotland
  • The Cairngorm massif in NE Scotland is an excellent example of a preglacial upland landscape formed in granite. Glacial erosion in the mountains has been largely confined to valleys and corries and so has acted to dissect a pre-existing upland
  • and corries allow the main pre-glacial landforms to be easily identified. The former shape of pre-glacial valleys and valley heads can then be reconstructed by extrapolation of contours to provide a model of the pre-glacial relief of the Cairngorms
A comparison of wetness indices for the prediction of observed connected saturated areas under contrasting conditions

  • The focus was on the Girnock catchment (Cairngorm Mountains, northeast Scotland) and its sub-catchment, Bruntland Burn in which 7 field surveys were done to capture actual maps of connected saturated areas in both dry and humid conditions. The 1 km2
Mountain ordering : a method for classifying mountains based on their morphometry
  • Mountain ordering : a method for classifying mountains based on their morphometry
  • Classification ; Fractal geometry ; Geomorphometry ; Hokkaido ; Japan ; Methodology ; Mountain ; Relief
  • A new method for defining the extent of a mountain, mountain ordering, is proposed, and is used to examine the morphological characteristics of a set of ordered mountains in northern Japan. As an example of geomorphometry based on the method
  • of mountain ordering, mountain order and the number, area and height for mountains of each order were determined for these mountains.

Vertical distance, releif energy and altitudinal limits as distinguishing features of high mountains
  • Vertical distance, releif energy and altitudinal limits as distinguishing features of high mountains
  • Altitude ; Classification ; High mountain ; Mountain ; Relief
  • Mountain constitute the Earth's third pole, because they hypsometrically repeat the climate zones as far as the Arctic within smallest space. For this reason, the vertical distance and relief energy are characteristic and distinguishing features
  • of any classification of mountains. But when taking such basic features into consideration, geomorphologists, glaciologists and geobotanists have to define mountain-typological threshold values in a new way. - (IfL)
