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

The cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

The relatively warm climate conditions prevailing today in the Mediterranean region limit
cold geomorphological processes only to the highest mountain environments. However …

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 …

The mesoscale effect of climate change and engineering activities on a superficial frozen
soil–rock mixture (FSRM) in regions is complex. The decrease in strength caused by particle …

Estimates of permafrost distribution in mountain regions are important for the assessment of
climate change effects on natural and human systems. In order to make permafrost analyses …

Surface movement, internal deformation, and temperature were monitored over 5 years on
Büz North rock glacier, a small rock glacier located at the lower limit of the permafrost belt in …

Among the numerous environmental factors affecting plant communities in alpine
ecosystems, the influence of geomorphic processes and landforms has been minimally …

In this study, we propose a methodology to estimate the spatial distribution of destabilizing
rock glaciers, with a focus on the French Alps. We mapped geomorphological features that …

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