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.

Genetic variability of rock glaciers
Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 1998Rock glaciers, common in many alpine and polar regions, have poorly understood internal structure, dynamics, and origins.

Gruben glacier and rock glacier, Wallis, Switzerland: glacier ice exposures and their interpretation
Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography, 2020Field observations, map analysis and the use of terrestrial and aerial photography and Google Earth show that the Gruben rock glacier, discussed in the literature since 1974, does contain a 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 ...

ROCK GLACIERS, SOUTHWEST YUKON
Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, 1988SummaryTwo distinct types of rock glaciers occur in southwest Yukon. One results directly from glaciation, with the production of abundant debris over glacier ice. The other forms during and after deglaciation, when instabilities develop in deposits and when ice included in these deposits responds to climatic change.
