Detecting Rock Glacier Displacement in the Central Himalayas Using Multi-Temporal InSAR
Remote Sensing, 2021 Rock glaciers represent typical periglacial landscapes and are distributed widely in alpine mountain environments. Rock glacier activity represents a critical indicator of water reserves state, permafrost distribution, and landslide disaster ...

Rock glaciers on the run – understanding rock glacier landform evolution and recent changes from numerical flow modeling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Rock glaciers are landforms that form as a result of creeping mountain permafrost which have received considerable attention concerning their dynamical and thermal changes.

Brief communication: Combining borehole temperature, borehole piezometer and cross-borehole electrical resistivity tomography measurements to investigate seasonal changes in ice-rich mountain permafrost [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 A novel combination of borehole temperature, borehole piezometer and cross-borehole electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data is used to investigate changing ice and/or water contents in the creeping ice-rich Schafberg rock glacier in the Eastern ...

Short-term cooling, drying, and deceleration of an ice-rich rock glacier [PDF]
The CryosphereObservations in the European Alps show a long-term rise in rock glacier velocities, which is often associated with increased air and ground temperatures and, more recently, water content.

Land, 2022 During the Little Ice Age (LIA), Corral del Veleta (Sierra Nevada) housed a small glacier of which relict glacial ice and permafrost still remain under packets of ice blocks. Currently, it is considered the southernmost rock glacier in Europe.

Rock Glacier Kinematics in the Kaunertal, Ötztal Alps, Austria
Geosciences, 2019 The quantification of rock glacier kinematics on a regional basis has gained increasing importance in recent years. Here, we applied an image tracking approach on high-resolution aerial imagery to infer surface kinematics of 129 mapped rock glaciers in ...

Assessing the rock glacier kinematics on three different timescales: a case study from the southern Swiss Alps [PDF]
, 2015 Surface temperature increases since the 1990s have often been associated with an increase in the speed of rock glaciers. Evidence of similar links on the centennial to millennial scale are, however, still lacking due to less focus to date on the medium ...

Transitional rock glaciers at sea level in northern Norway [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 Rock glaciers are geomorphological expressions of permafrost. Close to sea level in northernmost Norway, in the subarctic Nordkinn peninsula, we have observed several rock glaciers that appear to be active now or were active in the recent past ...
