Fig. 10

a General map of knickpoints in the Jura Mountains. The neotectonically controlled knickpoints determined along sixteen river profiles are shown in the simplified structural map (orange circles). Knickpoints have been classified in size by their intensities (ksn values). River profiles point towards neotectonic activity in both the High Range and the External Range. The white map inserted in the high left corner highlights the gradient of ksn intensity between the High Range (high values) and the External Range (low values). The white map inserted at the right side of the general map represents the LGM ice extent along with the distribution of ksn intensities. The diameter of the circles refers to the four categories of ksn intensities defined in legend. b The frequencies diagram of ksn intensities shows a large proportion of moderate signals (50 < ksn < 150), which occurs all over the Jura Mountains. c Ksn values versus the drainage area shows no direct relation between these two variables. (see Sects. 4.4 and 5.2 for further details)
