Evolution of Ossoue Glacier (French Pyrenees) since the end of the Little Ice Age [PDF]
Little is known about the fluctuations of the Pyrenean glaciers. In this study, we reconstructed the evolution of Ossoue Glacier (42°46' N, 0.45 km2), which is located in the central Pyrenees, from the Little Ice Age (LIA) onwards. To do so, length,
