The mountain cryosphere of mainland Europe is recognized to have important impacts on a
range of environmental processes. In this paper, we provide an overview on the current …

In mountainous regions, climate change threatens cryospheric water resources, and
understanding all components of the hydrological cycle is necessary for effective water …

Glaciers cover∼ 10% of the Earth's land surface, but they are shrinking rapidly across most
parts of the world, leading to cascading impacts on downstream systems. Glaciers impart …

The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world's cold,
non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and …

The detachment of large parts of low-angle mountain glaciers resulting in massive ice–rock
avalanches have so far been believed to be a unique type of event, made known to the …

Rock glaciers are important hydrological reserves in arid and semi-arid regions. Their
activity states can indicate the existence of permafrost. To help further explore the …

The latitudinal‐altitudinal distribution of rock glaciers in the dry Chilean Andes between 27°
and 33° S was analysed and their hydrological and geomorphological significance …

Abstract In the Dry Andes of Chile (17 to 35° S), debris-covered glaciers and rock glaciers
are differentiated from true glaciers based on the percentage of surface debris cover …

Rock glaciers are an important geomorphic element of glaciated mountain landscapes, but
our understanding of their distribution and ages, controls on their development, and their …

Abstract In the Nepalese Himalaya, there is little information on the number, spatial
distribution and morphometric characteristics of rock glaciers, and this information is …
