stone-blanked lobes, vegetation-covered lobes, measurement of boulders, Little Ice AgeAbstract
Measurements of sizes and orientations of boulders in the centre and exterior of lobes suggest that they are produced by viscous flowage but controlled by bedrock jointing. Two different lobe types are recognized: stone-banked and vegetation-covered. The latter, which is a Jess active version of the former probably date from Zone IV and most of the former from the Little Ice Age.
