Journal Article
Oien, R. P., Barr, I. D., Spagnolo, M., Bingham, R. G., Rea, B. R., & Jansen, J. (2022). Controls on the altitude of Scandinavian cirques: What do they tell us about palaeoclimate?. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 600, 111062. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2022.111062

Cirques are glacially eroded, bowl-shaped depressions, characterised by steep headwalls and flat or overdeepened floors. Given their association with past glaciers, cirques are sometimes used as proxies for palaeoclimate. However, cirques are shaped...
