Abstract In the Dry Andes of Chile (17 to 35° S), debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers
are differentiated from true glaciers based on the percentage of surface debris cover …

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 …

Rock glaciers are an important component of the cryosphere and are one of the most visible
manifestations of permafrost. While the significance of rock glacier contribution to streamflow …

Climate change and associated Arctic amplification cause a degradation of permafrost
which in turn has major implications for the environment. The potential turnover of frozen …

Rock glaciers likely play an important hydrological role in the semiarid Andes (SA; 27°–35°
S). They supplement streamflow when water is needed most, especially during dry years in …

Mountain permafrost and rock glaciers in the dry Andes are of growing interest due to the
increase in mining industry and infrastructure development in this remote area. Empirical …

The glacier to rock glacier transformation problem is revisited from a previously unseen
angle. A striking case in the Juncal Massif (located in the upper Aconcagua Valley, Chilean …

Glaciers and rock glaciers play an important role in the hydrology of the semi-arid northern
Chile. Several studies show that glaciers have rapidly lost mass in response to climate …

An inventory of firn fields, glaciers, debris-covered glaciers, and rock glaciers was conducted
in the Aconcagua River Basin of the semiarid Andes of central Chile. A total of 916 …

This contribution explores the internal structure of very small debris-covered glacier systems
located in permafrost environments and their current dynamical responses to short-term …
