A rapid sequence of cascading events involving thermokarst lake outburst, rock glacier front
failure, debris flow development and river blockage hit Radurschl Valley (Ötztal Alps, Tyrol) …

The fronts of two rock glaciers located in South Tyrol (Italian Alps) failed on 13 August 2014,
initiating debris flows in their downslope channels. A multimethod approach including …

Rock glaciers are landforms that form as a result of creeping mountain permafrost which
have received considerable attention concerning their dynamical and thermal changes …

This paper recognizes the contribution of Professor Wilfried Haeberli for his inspiration and
leadership in the field of permafrost science and his generous encouragement, both direct …

Climate models predict continued climate warming and a decrease of Austrian glaciers to
less than 20% of their present area by the end of this century. Rockfall from freshly exposed …

Mountain permafrost is currently enduring substantial modifications due to climate change. A
drastic increase in the creep rates of rock glaciers and the onset of rock glacier …

Most natural rock slope failures result from long-term strength degradation. It is often
hypothesized that glacial retreat leads to enhanced progressive damage accumulation in …

A widespread risk in high mountains is related to the accumulation of loose sediments on
steep slopes, which represent potential sources of different types of geomorphic processes …

This study investigates sediment transport processes and sediment-landform development
at two small valley glaciers of contrasting basal thermal-regime. A range of innovative …
