The northwestern glacier of Besiberri, Lerida Pyrenees

Abstract:

The studied complex is a glacial debris system with three different areas: the upper, with an ice core covered by glacial debris and very activce periglacial processes; the middle, a black glacier with a semi-covered part; and the lower, a rocky glacier in the front of the complex. The system has been active recently. This is deduced from the good preservation of the forms, the slow response of the glaciar system to the climatic changes and the presence of Little Ice Age moraine surrounding the complex. -after English summary
