Glacial Geomorphology of the Aladağlar, Taurus Mountains

A 1:50,000 glacial geomorphological map of the Aladağlar, known as the Alps of Turkey, covering about 1,200 km². It shows cirques, arêtes, horns, moraines, debris-covered glaciers and outwash fans, mapped from remote sensing and field surveys between 2016 and 2018.

My first map to make it into a peer-reviewed journal. Three summers of fieldwork in these mountains went into it.
