Origin and significance of 'dispersed facies' basal ice: Svínafellsjökull, Iceland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Dispersed facies basal ice - massive (i.e. structureless) ice with dispersed debris aggregates - is present at the margins of many glaciers and, as a product of internal glacial processes, has the potential to provide important information about the ...

Rock Glacier Inventories (RoGIs) in 12 areas worldwide using a multi-operator consensus-based procedure [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Science Data
The Rock Glacier Inventories and Kinematics (RGIK) community has defined standards for generating Rock Glacier Inventories (RoGIs). In the framework of the European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative for Permafrost (ESA CCI Permafrost), we set up a ...

Insights into Red Deer Ecology during the Late Epigravettian: New isotopic evidence from Riparo Tagliente (Italian Prealps)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Late Glacial marked a shift from the cold conditions of Greenland Stadial‐2 (GS‐2) to the warmer phases of Greenland Interstadial‐1 (GI‐1), enabling the reoccupation of Alpine regions by Late Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers.

Meteorology and surface energy fluxes in the 2005–2007 ablation seasons at the Miage debris-covered glacier, Mont Blanc Massif, Italian Alps

open access: yes, 2010
During the 2005–2007 June–September ablation seasons, meteorological conditions were recorded on the lower and upper parts of the debris‐covered ablation zone of Miage Glacier, Italy. In 2005, debris temperature and subdebris ice melt were also monitored

Monitoring recent (2018–2023) glacier and rock glacier changes in Central Patagonia using high-resolution Pléiades and ALOS PRISM satellite data

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Glaciers and rock glaciers are essential components of the cryosphere in the Andes of Argentina and Chile, serving as significant freshwater reservoirs and playing a crucial hydrological role as the region experiences warming and drying trends.

Flow outline in an active rock glacier (Skjoldalur, Iceland): application of lichenometric techniques

open access: yesCuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2013
The use of lichernometric techniques in the active Skjoldalur I rock glacier (Iceland) has allowed us to quantify the existence of signifcant differences in its superficial dynamics.

Late Quaternary climatic variability in the Eastern Mediterranean recorded in Hermes Cave, Corinth Rift, Greece

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greek peninsula lies at the intersection of major atmospheric circulation systems, making it a key location for reconstructing past climate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean. In this study, we present a new high‐resolution multi‐proxy speleothem record from Hermes Cave, located on the shoulder of the Corinth Rift in southern Greece.

Rock-glacier dynamics and magnitude-frequency relations of debris flows in a high-elevation watershed: Ritigraben, Swiss Alps

open access: yes, 2010
A widespread risk in high mountains is related to the accumulation of loose sediments on steep slopes, which represent potential sources of different types of geomorphic processes including debris flows.

Unveiling large-scale velocity characteristics of rock glaciers in the Tibet-Pamir-Karakoram region using InSAR

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Rock glaciers are debris landforms formed by long-term creep of ice-rich permafrost. Their kinematics provide critical insights for climate change and permafrost studies, mountain hydrology, and hazard assessment.
