Allometric development of glacial cirque form: Geological, relief and regional effects on the cirques of Wales (2006)
Journal Article
Evans, I. (2006). Allometric development of glacial cirque form: Geological, relief and regional effects on the cirques of Wales. Geomorphology, 80(3-4), 245-266. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2006.02.013

Headward and downward erosion near glacier sources, at rates exceeding fluvial erosion, is important in recent discussions of orogen development and the limits to relief. This relates to a long history of debate on how the form of glacial cirques dev...

Local aspect asymmetry of mountain glaciation: A global survey of consistency of favoured directions for glacier numbers and altitudes (2006)
Journal Article
Evans, I. (2006). Local aspect asymmetry of mountain glaciation: A global survey of consistency of favoured directions for glacier numbers and altitudes. Geomorphology, 73(1-2), 166-184. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2005.07.009

Understanding aspect effects on present-day glaciers provides essential background to the palaeoclimatic interpretation of reconstructed former glaciers or glacial cirques. Several factors influencing glacier mass balance vary with slope aspect: thes...
