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
Permafrost and climate in Europe: Monitoring and modelling thermal, geomorphological and geotechnical responses
Charles Harris,Lukas U. Arenson,Hanne H. Christiansen,Bernd Etzelmüller,Regula Frauenfelder,Stephan Gruber,Wilfried Haeberli,Christian Hauck,Martin Hölzle,Ole Humlum,Ketil Isaksen,Andreas Kääb,Martina A. Kern-Lütschg,Michael Lehning,Norikazu Matsuoka,Julian B. Murton,Jeanette Nötzli,Marcia Phillips,Neil Ross,Matti Seppälä,Sarah M. Springman,Daniel Vonder Mühll +21 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that includes the continuous high latitude arctic permfrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous high altitude mountain permaffrost of Iceland, Fennoscandia and the Alps.
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
Wilfried Haeberli,Bernard Hallet,Lukas U. Arenson,Roger Elconin,Ole Humlum,Andreas Kääb,Viktor Kaufmann,Branko Ladanyi,Norikazu Matsuoka,Sarah M. Springman,Daniel Vonder Mühll +10 more
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.
