“…This requires three inputs: cirque outlines (polygons), threshold midpoints, and a DEM. This toolbox has been used to extract cirque metrics and infer palaeoclimate conditions in various settings worldwide, including: Britain and Ireland (Barr et al, , 2019, the Guadarrama and Somosierra mountains in Spain (Pedraza et al, 2019), the Faeroe Islands (Wallick and Principato, 2020), High Mountain Asia ( Zhang et al, 2020( Zhang et al, , 2021Li et al, 2023), and Antarctica (Barr et al, 2022(Barr et al, , 2023. Use of DEMs allowed ACME to calculate new descriptors such as hypsometric integral, mean slope and 3D area.…”
