GEOMATIC METHODS APPLIED TO THE CHANGE STUDY OF THE LA PAÚL ROCK GLACIER, SPANISH PYRENEES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 Rock glaciers are one of the most important features of the mountain permafrost in the Pyrenees. La Paúl is an active rock glacier located in the north face of the Posets massif in the La Paúl glacier cirque (Spanish Pyrenees).

Multi-sensor monitoring and data integration reveal cyclical destabilization of the Äußeres Hochebenkar rock glacier [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2023 This study investigates rock glacier destabilization based on the results of a unique in situ and remote-sensing-based monitoring network focused on the kinematics of the rock glacier in Äußeres Hochebenkar (Austrian Alps).

Rock glacier characteristics serve as an indirect record of multiple alpine glacier advances in Taylor Valley, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 The geomorphic record indicates that alpine glaciers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of southern Victoria Land, Antarctica, appear to advance during interglacial periods in response to ice-free conditions in the Ross Sea.

Alpine rock glacier activity over Holocene to modern timescales (western French Alps) [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 Active rock glaciers are some of the most frequent cryospheric landforms in midlatitude high-elevation mountain ranges. Their activity strongly influences the hydrology and geomorphology of alpine environments over short (years to decades) and long ...

Measurement of rock glacier surface change over different timescales using terrestrial laser scanning point clouds [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2021 Topographic change at a given location usually results from multiple processes operating over different timescales. However, interpretations of surface change are often based upon single values of movement, measured over a specified time period or in a ...

Pluri-decadal (1955–2014) evolution of glacier–rock glacier transitional landforms in the central Andes of Chile (30–33° S) [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2017 Three glacier–rock glacier transitional landforms in the central Andes of Chile are investigated over the last decades in order to highlight and question the significance of their landscape and flow dynamics.
