| Descripción | Pico de Orizaba (5,700 m), on the eastern edge of the Transmexican Volcanic Belt, is an active volcano whose most recent eruption took place in 1687. Its summit is now covered by an ice cap from which several glaciers form. As on other mountains of central Mexico, the glaciers of Pico de Orizaba have retreated considerably during the past century and, in particular, during the last decades. This study focuses on the recent evolution of Jamapa Glacier, on the northern part of the mountain. |
| Objetivo | It analyzes the geomorphologic processes in relation to the rapid retreat of the glacier snout and the intense periglacial activity on the valley sidewalls. The paper presents data on the thermic regime of ice cover deposits and their contrast with that of the glacier. At the end, it summarizes a model of the geomorphic evolution of the area below a retreating glacier. |

| Forma en como se construyen los datos | Local bibliography and aerial photographs from different periods were used to study the volcano-glacial evolution of Pico de Orizaba. Fieldwork carried out in February 1994 produced an accurate geomorphologic map and data on the sedimentary and thermic characteristics of the retreating glacier and derived deposits. On this basis a hypothesis was developed on the recent geomorphic evolution and the types of processes operating today. |
