Anthropogenic climate change is rapidly altering high mountain environments, including
changing the frequency, dynamic behavior, location, and magnitude of alpine mass …

Assessing initiation of rock-slope deformation and paleo-slip rates of rockslides is important
to understand the impact of climate variability-in particular permafrost changes-on rockslide …

In the European Alps almost half the glacier volume disappeared over the past 150 years.
The loss is reflected in glacier retreat and ice surface lowering even at high altitude. In steep …

This study exploited the historical rockfall inventory and the meteorological stations
database of Mont Cervin and Mont Emilius Mountain Communities (Aosta Valley, northern …

The freeze–thaw (FT) process plays a dominant role as far as the slope stability in the cold
regions is concerned. The upper mountainous regions of the Himalayas are prone to …

Rock slope failures globally account for most single-event landslide disasters. Climatic
changes in mountain areas boost failure activity and the demand for reliable failure time …

A multi-method monitoring was conducted to detect the timing and trigger of rockfall activity
on an alpine rockslide cliff composed of Cretaceous sandstone and shale in the southern …

Instability and failure of high mountain rock slopes have significantly increased since the
1990s coincident with climatic warming and are expected to rise further. Most of the …

Permafrost and glaciers are being degraded by the warming effects of climate change. The
impact that this degradation has on slope stability in mountainous terrain is the subject of …

In a context of cryosphere degradation caused by climate warming, rock temperature is one
of the main driving factors of rockfalls that occur on high-elevation mountain slopes. In order …
