标题:Glacial and periglacial relief on the southern slopes of the Western Tatra Mts. (Slovakia) – the results of the first detailed geomorphological mapping of the Žiarska, Jamnicka, Raèkova and Bystra Valleys
摘要:The article presents the results of the first detailed geomorphological mapping of the Žiarska, Jamnicka,Raèkova, and Bystra Valleys, situated on the southern slope of the Western Tatra Mountains. The field work was supplementedby digital topographic as well as statistical analysis of rock glaciers distribution. The author focused on the distributionand morphological features of moraines and rock glaciers. Variability of both sets of deposits strongly reflects topographicinfluences on debris and snow accumulation. The main factor controlling the geometry of landforms was solarirradiance modified by the influence of the local cirque topography. Two generations of the rock glaciers indicate distinctphases of periglacial conditions during the Late Glacial period.
