Permafrost in steep bedrock slopes and its temperature‐related destabilization following climate change

TL;DR: Permafrost degradation in steep bedrock can be strongly affected by percolating water in fractures and can lead to quick and deep development of thaw corridors along permafrost and potentially destabilize much greater volumes of rock than conduction would as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remote sensing based assessment of hazards from glacier lake outbursts: a case study in the Swiss Alps

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe how outbursts from glacier lakes have repeatedly caused the loss of human lives as well as severe damage to local infrastructure in the high mountain areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid disintegration of Alpine glaciers observed with satellite data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used digitized glacier outlines inferred from the 1973 inventory and Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) satellite data from 1985 to 1999 to obtain area changes of about 930 Alpine glaciers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Permafrost creep and rock glacier dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a review paper examines thermal conditions (active layer and permafrost), internal composition (rock and ice components), kinematics and rheology of creeping perennially frozen slopes in cold mountain areas.
