Mining operations generate large amounts of wastes which are usually stored into large-
scale storage facilities which pose major environmental concerns and must be properly …

Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a minimally invasive geophysical method that
produces a model of subsurface resistivity from a large number of electrical resistance …

Mountain permafrost is sensitive to climate change and is expected to gradually degrade in
response to the ongoing atmospheric warming trend. Long-term monitoring of the permafrost …

Ongoing global warming intensifies the degradation of permafrost. Permafrost thawing
impacts landform evolution, reduces freshwater resources, enhances the potential of natural …

Detailed knowledge of the material properties and internal structures of frozen ground is one
of the prerequisites in many permafrost studies. In the absence of direct evidence, such as in …

A combined geophysical and thermal monitoring approach for improved observation of
mountain permafrost degradation is presented. Time‐lapse inversion of repeated electrical …

Abstract The Reichenkar rock glacier (Tyrol, Austria) is a typical tongue‐shaped, 1400 m
long, ice‐cored active rock glacier, which connects to a debris‐free cirque glacier. Aerial …

The inversion and interpretation of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data from coarse
blocky and ice‐rich permafrost sites are challenging due to strong resistivity contrasts and …

Slope instabilities caused by the disappearance of ice within alpine rock glaciers are an
issue of increasing concern. Design of suitable counter-measures requires detailed …

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 …
