Abstract
[Resumen] Los grandes estratovolcanes mexicanos activos, Popocatepetl (5.450 m) y Pico e Orizaba (5.700 m), están cubiertos por glaciares en sus laderas septentrionales. Este trabajo analiza el retroceso de estos glaciares desde febrero de 1994 a octubre de 1995 y sus consecuencias geomorfológicas. Los resultados de la observación demuestran que la deglaciación está suponiendo un incremento de los procesos erosivos y la formación generalizada de hielo residual cubierto por depósitos.
[Abstract] The northern slopes of Mexico's great, active stratovolcanoes: Popocatepetl (5450 m a.s.l.) and Pico de Orizaba (5700 m) are covered by glaciers. This paper analyzes the glaciers' retreat between February 1994 to October 1995, and its geomorphological consequences. The results of field observations showed that deglaciation had increased the amount of erosion and had lead to the widespread formation of deposits that buried cover ice.
