Rock glaciers in the Pyrenees

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 ...

Rock Avalanches onto Glaciers

open access: yes, 2015
The chapter looks mainly at massive rock slope failures that generate high-speed, long-runout rock avalanches onto glaciers in high mountains, from subpolar through tropical latitudes. Drastic modifications of mountain landscapes and destructive impacts occur, and initiate other, longer-term hazards.

Rock glaciers and mountain hydrology: A review [PDF]

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2019
In mountainous regions, climate change threatens cryospheric water resources, and understanding all components of the hydrological cycle is necessary for effective water resource management. Rockglaciers are climatically more resilient than

Permafrost creep and rock glacier dynamics

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2006
Final 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 ...
