Abstract


Glacial evolution in the upper Gallego Valley has been established by studying erosional and depositional land forms. Ten pulsations, related to five phases are described: Premaximal (F. G. 0), attributed to Middle Pleistocene; Peniglacier, with three expanding pulsations (F.G. 1, 2 y 3), is attributed to the Upper Pleistocene; Finipleniglacial with two phases of dynamic (F.G. 4 y 5') and climatic (F.G. 5) equilibrium associated with the Pleistocene deglaciation; high mountain phase (F.G. 6 y 7), with two morphogenetic episodes; and the Holocene pulses from the Little Ice Age.
