Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Rock glaciers are common geomorphic features in alpine landscapes and comprise a potentially significant but poorly quantified water resource. This project focused on three complementary questions germane to rock glacier hydrology: 1) Does the ...

Spring-water temperature suggests widespread occurrence of Alpine permafrost in pseudo-relict rock glaciers [PDF]
The CryosphereRunoff originating from ground ice contained in rock glaciers represents a significant water supply for lowlands. Pseudo-relict rock glaciers contain patchy permafrost but appear to be relict, and therefore they can be misinterpreted when using standard ...

Modelling rock glacier ice content based on InSAR-derived velocity, Khumbu and Lhotse valleys, Nepal [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2023 Active rock glaciers are viscous flow features embodying ice-rich permafrost and other ice masses. They contain significant amounts of ground ice and serve as potential freshwater reservoirs as mountain glaciers melt in response to climate warming ...

Assessment of rock glaciers and their water storage in Guokalariju, Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
The CryosphereRock glaciers are important hydrological reserves in arid and semi-arid regions. Their activity states can indicate the existence of permafrost. To help further explore the development mechanisms of rock glaciers in semi-arid and humid transition regions,

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 ...

Inventory and Distribution of Rock Glaciers in Northeastern Yakutia
Land, 2020 Rock glaciers are common forms of relief of the periglacial belt of many mountain structures in the world. They are potential sources of water in arid and semi-arid regions, and therefore their analysis is important in assessing water reserves.

Kinematic inventory of rock glaciers in the Nyainqêntanglha Range using the MT-InSAR method
International Journal of Digital Earth, 2023 Rock glaciers are typical periglacial landforms with tongue or lobate morphological shapes and characterized by the distinct front, lateral margins, and often by ridge-and-furrow surface topography textures as well as kinematic characteristics, widely ...

Incorporating InSAR kinematics into rock glacier inventories: insights from 11 regions worldwide [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Rock glaciers are landforms related to permafrost creep that are sensitive to climate variability and change. Their spatial distribution and kinematic behaviour can be critical for managing water resources and geohazards in periglacial areas.

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2020 Rock glaciers and protalus ramparts are two of the main morphological features of the Central Andes in the Province of San Juan, Argentina. This sector of the Andes has one of the highest densities of occurrence of rock glaciers in the world.
