This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

We present a regional inventory of rock glaciers (n= 1514) and protalus ramparts (228) for
the Lombardy region, central Italian Alps. To identify and classify the landforms we inspect …

Mountain terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are responsive to external drivers of change,
especially climate change and atmospheric deposition of nitrogen (N). We explored the …

Definition A rock glacier is a lobate or tongue-shaped landform consisting of rock debris and
either an ice core or an icecemented matrix. This landform is distinguished by its distinctive …

Alpine permafrost occurrence in maritime climates has received little attention, despite
suggestions that permafrost may occur at lower elevations than in continental climates. To …

In the present study we used the first rock glacier inventory for the entire French Alps to
model spatial permafrost distribution in the region. Climatic and topographic data evaluated …

Rock glaciers are linked to palaeoenvironment, water storage, sediment transport, and
natural hazards. Previous rock glacier studies have been conducted in many places …

Rock glaciers, a key element of alpine mountain geomorphic systems, consist of coarse
surface debris that insulates an ice-core or ice-debris mixture. Rates of movement of active …

Rock glaciers are valuable diagnostic landforms indicating permafrost creeping during their
genesis and activity. Based on the analysis of high quality air-orthophoto and field work, a …

Rock glaciers are receiving increased attention as a potential source of water and indicator
of climate change in periglacial landscapes. They consist of an ice‐debris mixture, which …
