In this study, rapid topographic changes and increased erosion rates caused by massive
slope failures in a glacierized and permafrost‐affected high‐mountain face were …

This paper describes a remote sensing‐based approach for detailed topographic
investigations in steep periglacial high‐mountain faces. The study was conducted at one of …

Climate change, manifested by an increase in mean, minimum, and maximum temperatures
and by more intense rainstorms, is becoming more evident in many regions. An important …

The Monte Rosa east face, Italian Alps, is one of the highest flanks in the Alps (2200–4500
m asl). Steep hanging glaciers and permafrost cover large parts of the wall. Since the end of …

This paper describes recent exceptional slope failures in high-mountain, glacial
environments: the 2002 Kolka–Karmadon rock–ice avalanche in the Caucasus, a series of …

Rock slope failures are characteristic of mountainous environments. These mass
movements produce sediment, alter catchment behaviour and contribute to the dynamics …

The present time is one significant stage in the adjustment of mountain slopes to climate
change, and specifically atmospheric warming. This review examines the state of …

In many high mountain regions, warming of perennially frozen ground in both coarse debris
and rock walls has a major influence on slope stability. In this context, indications of …

In this study a combination of different topographic data from historic topographic maps and
remote sensing is used to reconstruct and monitor the behaviour of the high alpine ice …

The present time is a significant stage in the adjustment of mountain slopes to climate
change and specifically atmospheric warming. This review examines the state of …
