Recent patterned grounds development on a glacier surface (dovrefjell, central norway): an ephemeral periglacial activity in a paraglacial context

Abstract

Researches carried out on the main glacier of the ovrefjell massif, candes Mountains, orway (62° ; 9° ) point to recent periglacial features which are presently directly developed on the ice. This original location raises the problem of their morphodynamic significance and a hypothesis of ephemeral periglacial activity in a paraglacial context is proposed here.

Key words:

• Norway
• glacier retreat
• paraglacial dynamics
• periglacial dynamics
