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

One of the purposes of dendrogeomorphic studies is to provide long and continuous
reconstructions of mass movements and to detect climate-induced trends in process activity …

Ongoing climate warming has been demonstrated to impact the cryosphere in the Indian
Himalayas, with substantial consequences for the risk of disasters, human well-being, and …

The initial employment of tree rings in geomorphic studies was simply as a dating tool and
only rarely were other environmental information and records of damage contained within …

Avalanche disturbances are important processes in many subalpine forest ecosystems but
have received relatively little research attention in comparison to other major types of …

Trees affected by mass movements record the evidence of geomorphic disturbance in the
growth-ring series, and thereby provide a precise geochronological tool for the …

Wood anatomical features may be visible on the microscopic as well as on the macroscopic
scale. While the former can often be quantified by detailed wood anatomical analyses, the …

The purpose of this study was to reconstruct spatiotemporal patterns of past landslide
reactivation in a forested area of the Barcelonnette Basin (Bois Noir landslide, Southern …

Disturbances play an important role in forest dynamics. The determination of long-term
spatiotemporal characteristics of disturbance regimes is essential for understanding forest …

A detailed understanding of how the earth surface is being continuously shaped and why it
looks the way it does are essential prerequisites for an appraisal of geomorphic processes …
