The mountain cryosphere of mainland Europe is recognized to have important impacts on a
range of environmental processes. In this paper, we provide an overview on the current …

Rapid permafrost thaw in the high-latitude and high-elevation areas increases hillslope
susceptibility to landsliding by altering geotechnical properties of hillslope materials …

Rockfall is one of the main geomorphological processes that affects the evolution and
stability of rock-walls. At high elevations, rockfall is largely climate-driven, very probably …

In recent decades, slope instability in high‐mountain regions has often been linked to
increase in temperature and the associated permafrost degradation and/or the increase in …

Rockfall in high-mountain regions is thought to be changing due to accelerating climate
warming and permafrost degradation, possibly resulting in enhanced activity and larger …

Weathering processes prepare and trigger rockfall, which is a key agent of alpine landscape
evolution and a hazardous process. The relative importance of different weathering …

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

Mountainous topography reflects an interplay between tectonic uplift, crustal strength, and
climate-conditioned erosion cycles. During glaciations, glacial erosion increases bedrock …

Rockwall erosion by rockfall is largely controlled by frost weathering in high alpine
environments. As alpine rock types are characterized by crack‐dominated porosity and high …

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 …
