Rock waste dumps on the Davydov Glacier (Akshyirak Range, Tien Shan)
Лëд и снег, 2015 Since 1995, a barren rock has been formed at the Davydov Glacier, due to the works at the Kumtor Gold Mine. By the end of 2010, total amount of the rock, stockpiled on the glacier, apparently exceeded 200 million tons, the height of dumps of rock ...

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 ...

An energy-balance model for debris-covered glaciers including heat conduction through the debris layer [PDF]
, 2010 Extensive covers of supraglacial debris are often present in glacier ablation areas, and it is essential to assess exactly how the debris affects glacier melt rates.

Monitoring the crisis of a rock glacier with repeated UAV surveys [PDF]
Geographica Helvetica, 2019 In this study, rapid topographic changes and high creeping rates caused by the destabilisation of an active rock glacier in a steep mountain flank were investigated in detail with five unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys between June 2016 and September

Hydraulic impacts of glacier advance over a sediment bed [PDF]
, 2006 A sedimentary sequence of till overlying a gravel aquifer was instrumented with water-pressure transducers prior to a small, anticipated surge of the margin of the glacier Breiðamerkurjökull in Iceland.
