Present and past geocryogenic processes in Mexico

Periglacial processes and landforms are described from the Cordillera Neovolcánica of central Mexico. Inactive rock glaciers are related to different late‐glacial and Holocene phases of permafrost conditions. Active discontinuous permafrost occurs above c. 4600 m ASL and appears to be from the Littl...
