Assessing proglacial sediment sources evolution of three catchments using the index of connectivity (IC), Plan de l'Aiguille, Chamonix, France.
Résumé
Glacier connexion with stream channel has beenevolved since the end of the Little Ice Age. We hereinvestigate a geostatistic approach based on theconnectivity index (IC) and glacier shapes extensions(around 1820, 1971 and 2008) in order to assess thespatial sediment connectivity.We applied the method on three proglacial streamslocated at the foot of the Aiguille du midi (“plan del’Aiguille”). The study streams are originating fromcirque glaciers with massive morainic bastions.
