Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 1999
In the Pyrenees 13 active rock glaciers have been detected, five on the northern side and eight on the southern. The active rock glaciers are located in the deglaciated high mountain, on the most massive and highest massifs. The active rock glaciers are located in the central Pyrenees, between 0°15′W and 0°50′E, under summits always higher than 2950 ...

Permafrost creep and rock glacier dynamics
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2006Final report of the Task Force on Permafrost Creep and Rock Glacier Dynamics. This Task Force was established in 1998 by the International Permafrost Association (IPA) and the International Commission on Snow and Ice (ICSI; now the Commission on Cryospheric Sciences, CCS) with Wilfried Haeberli and Bernard Hallet as co-chairs in order: (1) to define ...

Rock‐glacier dams in High Asia
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2018AbstractRock glaciers in semiarid mountains contain large amounts of ice and might be important water stores aside from glaciers, lakes, and rivers. Yet whether and how rock glaciers interact with river channels in mountain valleys remains largely unresolved.

Glaciation of alpine valleys: The glacier – debris-covered glacier – rock glacier continuum
Geomorphology, 2018Abstract Alpine ice varies from pure ice glaciers to partially debris-covered glaciers to rock glaciers, as defined by the degree of debris cover. In many low- to mid-latitude mountain ranges, the few bare ice glaciers that do exist in the present climate are small and are found where snow is focused by avalanches and where direct exposure to ...

A model for the flow of rock glaciers
International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 2013Abstract A constitutive model is developed for describing the response of rock glaciers that takes into account the effect of the shear rate, pressure and the volume fraction of the rocks and sand grains trapped within the interstices of the rock glacier on the viscosity of the rock glacier.

DEBRIS-COVERED GLACIERS AND ROCK GLACIERS
2014The debris-covered glaciers are observed all over the glaciation regions of the world (Alps, Antarctica, Greenland, Ants, Cascades, Rocky Mountains and ext.). The debris covered glaciers are the formations which occur as a result of the recession of normal glaciers.

Rock Glaciers. A Case for a Change in Nomenclature
Geografiska Annaler. Series A, Physical Geography, 1983The connotation of the term rock glacier, has been one of a common origin form but it is increasingly appar- ent that we are studying a range of landforms which, with the exception of the glacier debris system type, have no relation- ship with glaciers.

ROCK GLACIERS IN THE ALASKA RANGE
Geological Society of America Bulletin, 1959Field studies and examination of aerial photographs of approximately 200 rock glaciers in the Healy (1:250,000) quadrangle in the central Alaska Range showed that there are three types of rock glacier in plan: lobate, in which the length is less than the width (200–3500 feet long and 300–10,000 feet wide); tongue-shaped, in which the length is greater ...
