Modal sensitivity of rock glaciers to elastic changes from spectral seismic noise monitoring and modeling [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Among mountainous permafrost landforms, rock glaciers are mostly abundant in periglacial areas, as tongue-shaped heterogeneous bodies. Passive seismic monitoring systems have the potential to provide continuous recordings sensitive to hydro-mechanical ...

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 ...

Contrasting geophysical signatures of a relict and an intact Andean rock glacier [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 In semi-arid Chile, rock glaciers cover more surface area than glaciers and are potentially important water reserves. To understand their current and future hydrological role, it is necessary to characterize their internal structure (e.g.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Debris cover and surface melt at a temperate maritime alpine glacier: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2012 Melt rates on glaciers are strongly influenced by the presence of supraglacial debris, which can either enhance or reduce ablation relative to bare ice.
