2019, GeomorphologyCitation Excerpt :Such landforms are considered rare in alpine regions as they can be easily reworked by post-glacial erosion. However, drumlins have been identified on the alpine forelands of the European Alps, such as those around Lake Constance (Ellwanger, 1992), and lone drumlins or drumlins in small groups have been described in the Turtmann Valley, Switzerland by van der Meer (1983) and van der Meer and Tatenhove (1992). Drumlins have also been identified in the Clarée Valley in the French Alps by Cossart et al. (2012) and interpreted to represent temperate bed conditions.
