Cirques are the major forms of glacier and its shape is the most important factor in determining glacial conditions. Accurate identification and morphometric and allometric analyzes of cirques will distinguish and distinguish them from other cirque -like effects and identify their evolution. The main purpose of this study was to identify, classify and morphometry glacial cirques of Jabal Heights in Kerman province based on new geometrical techniques and methods. 16 cirque glaciers under the glacier basin, based on the digital elevation model and its adaptation to the slope map classified in the software environment, 200 glacier cirques were identified in the study area and plotted in linear and polygonal formats. By fitting power models to the circular longitudinal profile, the cirques coefficients and statistical parameters were extracted. The cirques classification was carried out according to the methods of Wilburg and Rudberg, Evans and Cox. For the morphometry of these circuses, parameters such as (L), (W), (H), (L / W), (L / H), (W / H) and cirque size were used and their morphometric properties were investigated. Is. According to the results of the research, there are 60 N1, 67 N2, 42 N3 and 31 in the high altitudes of Jabal. In cirques of both classes B <1. The results of geo-geometric analysis of cirques of different classes in this area indicate that cirques in this area were not typical glacial cirques or that glacial erosion did not play a major role in their formation.
