Asynchronous glacial dynamics of Last Glacial Maximum mountain glaciers in the Ikh Bogd Massif, Gobi Altai mountain range, southwestern Mongolia: aspect control on glacier mass balance
Abstract:Abstract. Mountain glacier mass balance is affected by factors other than
climate, such as topography, slope, and aspect. In midlatitude high-mountain regions, the north–south aspect contrast can cause significant
changes in insolation and melt, resulting in local asynchrony in glacial
dynamics. This study documents the asynchronous response of two
paleoglaciers in southwestern Mongolia to the local topoclimatic factors
using 10Be exposure age dating and 2D ice surface modeling. 10Be
surface exposure age datin… Show more
