The Pleistocene glaciations left a distinct topographic footprint in mountain ranges worldwide. The geometric signature of glacial topography has been quantified in various ways, but the temporal development of landscape metrics has not been traced in a landscape evolution model so far. However, such information is needed to interpret the degree of glacial imprint in terms of the integrated signal of temporal and spatial variations in erosion as a function of glacial occupation time.

渐进式冰川景观转变的地形特征

更新世冰川在全世界的山脉中留下了独特的地形足迹。冰川地形的几何特征已经以各种方式量化，但迄今为止，景观演化模型中还没有追踪景观指标的时间发展。然而，需要这些信息来解释冰川印记的程度，根据侵蚀的时间和空间变化的综合信号作为冰川占领时间的函数。
