“…At present, the glacial history of the Cantal‐Cézallier‐Monts Dore (CCMD) in the French Massif Central is poorly known despite early observations of past glacial imprints (Boule, 1896, 1895; Glangeaud, 1921; Julien and Laval, 1868; Rames, 1873) that led to numerous geomorphological studies (Boisse de Black, 1951; Goër de Hervé, 1972; Valadas, 1984; Van Dorsser, 1986, 1982; Veyret, 1978). This is especially true when it comes to the last glacial extents and timing for which large uncertainties remain (Defive et al , 2019; Etlicher and Goër de Hervé, 1988). The geomorphological reconstructions of the CCMD glacier system were based on a sequence of end moraines located in the main Cantal valleys (Cère, Authre, Jordanne, Alagnon, Rhue) and Monts Dore valleys (Dordogne, Tarentaine) (Boisse de Black, 1951; Goër de Hervé, 1972; Valadas, 1984; Veyret, 1978).…”
