Permafrost and active layer models often cannot explain the high spatial variability,
especially in heterogeneous environments like the mountainous regions due to their scarce …

The areas covered by permafrost in the polar regions are vulnerable to rapid changes in the
current climate. The well-studied near-surface active layer and permafrost zone are in …

Scattering is often detected when ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) surveys are performed
on glaciers at different latitudes and in various environments. This event is often seen as an …

Rock glaciers are characteristic landforms in alpine environments originating from the
movement of permanently frozen ground. Hereby, rock glacier velocity (RGV) is an important …

Small Alpine glaciers located below the regional equilibrium line altitude are experiencing
considerable ice losses and are expected to fragment into smaller glacial bodies and …

The glaciers situated in temperate mountain chains often contain a great percentage of
temperate ice, which is ice at the temperature-pressure melting point. They may also contain …

Alpine catchments play an important role in water availability. Understanding the
contribution of snow and ice melt to streamflow is important for assessing future water …
