Warming of the Earth climate system is unequivocal. That climate changes affect the stability
of natural and engineered slopes and have consequences on landslides, is also …

Earth's climate is warming and will continue to warm as the century progresses. High
mountains and high latitudes are experiencing the greatest warming of all regions on Earth …

Abstract Little Ice Age lateral moraines represent one of the most important sediment
storages and dynamic areas in glacier forelands. Following glacier retreat, simultaneous …

This study uses a long dataset of past debris flows from eight high-elevation catchments in
the Swiss Alps for which triggering conditions since AD 1864 have been reconstructed. The …

Climate change is expected to modify the hydrological and geomorphological dynamics of
mountain watersheds significantly, so impacting on downstream water yield and sediment …

Rockfalls are common instabilities in alpine areas and can cause significant damage. Since
high mountains have been affected by an increasing number of these phenomena in the last …

We analyse slope stability conditions for shallow landslides under an extreme precipitation
regime with regard to present and future scenarios, in order to first study the effect of …

Debris flows are a major geological hazard in mountainous regions. For improving
mitigation, it is important to study the spatial distribution and factors controlling debris flows …

Based on observational meteorological data since AD 1864 and tree-ring records of debris-
flow activity, this paper assesses changes in rainfall characteristics and their impact on the …

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