In mountainous regions, climate change threatens cryospheric water resources, and
understanding all components of the hydrological cycle is necessary for effective water …

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 …

Whether rock glaciers are permafrost creep features or may also be related to glaciers in
non-permafrost environments, and whether they should be defined by genesis or …

Proglacial systems are amongst the most rapidly changing landscapes on Earth, as glacier
mass loss, permafrost degradation and more episodes of intense rainfall progress with …

The relatively warm climate conditions prevailing today in the Mediterranean region limit
cold geomorphological processes only to the highest mountain environments. However …

An increasing number of studies highlight the controlling influence of water on rock glacier
deformation velocities. The link between the concept of water‐driven shearing processes …

The rock glaciers of the Swiss National Park were the first in the world where in-situ
measurements of surface displacement were undertaken, starting with the pioneering work …

Existing mountain permafrost distribution models generally offer a good overview of the
potential extent of this phenomenon at a regional scale. They are however not always able …

In many of the world's high mountain systems, glacier recession in response to climate
change is accompanied by a paraglacial response whereby glaciers are undergoing a …

Mountain permafrost is invisible, and map** it is still a challenge. Available permafrost
distribution maps often overestimate the permafrost extent and include large permafrost-free …
