The phrase "alpine glaciation" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in discussions related to geology, climate change, or the study of glaciers in mountainous regions.
Example: "The evidence of alpine glaciation can be seen in the U-shaped valleys and moraines left behind by retreating glaciers."
Alternatives: "mountain glaciation" or "glacial activity in alpine regions".
Signs of alpine glaciation are widely evident.
Our results from a higher latitude indicate an alternative, that glacial valleys incised rapidly after the onset of alpine glaciation.
Alpine glaciation in the Cordillera carved mountains to create cirques, arêtes, U-shaped valleys, and other glacial features.
Mountain regions such as the Gamburtsev Mountains, uplands in Dronning Maud Land and massifs in West Antarctica are likely to bear features of local alpine glaciation.
The landscape was further modeled during the Quaternary by Alpine glaciation and by expanding ice tongues, some reaching depths of nearly 1 mile (1.6 kilometres), that filled in the valleys and overflowed onto the plains.
Sawtooth National Forest has a history of alpine glaciation that is most obvious in the Sawtooth Mountains, and while no surface glaciers exist today, perennial snow fields and rock glaciers remain, usually on north or east facing slopes.
The Alpine glaciations of the Pleistocene were early recognized and formed the basis of modern Pleistocene glacial theory.
Quaternary climatic and eustatic cycles in mid-latitude regions have led to more extensive alpine glaciations and continental shelf progradation, respectively.
European loess generally lies outside the limits of the last Fennoscandian and Alpine glaciations, with extensive mantles in southern Russia, northern Ukraine and Belarus in the east, northern France and southern England in the west, and the Po Basin of northern Italy in the south.
Even many unglaciated areas such as coastal Oregon and California would have been affected by sea-level fluctuations, alpine glaciations, and climate fluctuations.
First, population diversification of poorly dispersing species might provide insight on the effects of alpine glaciations within mountain ranges, in particular by delineating the spatial location of climatic refugia.
