Abstract

A recent study showed that protalus ramparts were self‐limiting in that beyond a certain size there was a transformation from stationary firn into a small glacier which would modify or destroy the original landform. Based on this model of protalus development a number of dimensional constraints were suggested. Measurements obtained from a number of protalus ramparts in an area of high debris production of the Canadian Rockies appear to support the model. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Une étude récente a montré que les moraines de névé étaient limitées par leur propre taille, car au delà d'une certaine dimension, le névé immobile se transforme en un petit glacier qui modifie ou détruit la forme originelle. Sur la base de ce modèle de développement des moraines de névé, un certain nombre de contraintes dimensionnelles sont suggérées. Celles‐ci paraissent vérifiées pour plusieurs moraines de névé localisées dans une partie des Montagnes Rocheuses canadiennes où est libérée une grande quantité de débris. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
