Glacial cirques as palaeoenvironmental indicators: Their potential and limitations

ID Barr, M Spagnolo - Earth-science reviews, 2015 - Elsevier
Glacial cirques are armchair-shaped erosional hollows, typified by steep headwalls and,
often, overdeepened floors. They reflect former regions of glacier initiation, and their …
