The erosion of glaciated mountains: evidence from hypsoclinometry (2019)
Journal Article
Evans, I. S. (2019). The erosion of glaciated mountains: evidence from hypsoclinometry. Revista de geomorfologie, 21(1), 5-14. https://doi.org/10.21094/rg.2019.006

Mountain glaciation involves the erosion of cirques and troughs, which increase steep slopes but also produce gentle slopes in cirque floors and trough floors. This is expected to increase the variability of slope gradients at related altitudes. Taki... Read More about The erosion of glaciated mountains: evidence from hypsoclinometry.

Identifying and mapping very small (<0.5 km2) mountain glaciers on coarse to high-resolution imagery (2019)
Journal Article
Leigh, J., Stokes, C., Carr, J., Evans, I., Andreassen, L., & Evans, D. (2019). Identifying and mapping very small (

Small mountain glaciers are an important part of the cryosphere and tend to respond rapidly to climate warming. Historically, mapping very small glaciers (generally considered to be

The dynamics of mountain erosion: cirque growth slows as landscapes age (2019)
Journal Article
Barr, I. D., Ely, J. C., Spagnolo, M., Evans, I. S., & Tomkins, M. D. (2019). The dynamics of mountain erosion: cirque growth slows as landscapes age. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 44(13), 2628-2637. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4688

Glacial cirques are widely used palaeoenvironmental indicators, and are key to understanding the role of glaciers in shaping mountain topography. However, notable uncertainty persists regarding the rate and timing of cirque erosion. In order to addre... Read More about The dynamics of mountain erosion: cirque growth slows as landscapes age.

Geomorphic features of Quaternary glaciation in the Taniantaweng Mountain, on the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (2019)
Journal Article
Zhang, W., Chai, L., Evans, I. S., Liu, L., Li, Y., Qiao, J., …Sun, B. (2019). Geomorphic features of Quaternary glaciation in the Taniantaweng Mountain, on the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Journal of Mountain Science, 16(2), 256-274. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11629-018-4977-3

We present geomorphological evidence for multiple glacial fluctuations during the Quaternary in the Taniantaweng Mountain, which is situated at the transition zone of the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. To reconstru... Read More about Geomorphic features of Quaternary glaciation in the Taniantaweng Mountain, on the southeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
