Proglacial margins form when glaciers retreat and create zones with distinctive ecological,
geomorphological and hydrological properties in Alpine environments. There is extensive …

Ideas about the character and evolution of englacial drainage systems have been deeply
influenced by the theoretical model developed by Shreve [1972. Movement of water in …

In the face of rapid climate warming, rapid glacier recession should lead to a marked
increase in the spatial extent of the paraglacial zone in glaciated drainage basins. The …

Field Techniques in Glaciology and Glacial Geomorphology is the first text to provide this
essential information in a single comprehensive volume. Coverage includes: The role of …

Waters were sampled from 17 boreholes at Haut Glacier d'Arolla during the 1993 and 1994
ablation seasons. Three types of concentrated subglacial water were identified, based on …

Basal hydrology is acknowledged as a fundamental control on glacier dynamics, especially
in cases where surface meltwater reaches the bed. For many glaciers at midlatitudes, basal …

The origin and mobilization of the extensive debris cover associated with the glaciers of the
Nanga Parbat Himalaya is complex. In this paper we propose a mechanism by which …

This study analyses the factors controlling variations in short‐term, seasonal and multiyear
deformation velocity of an alpine rock glacier from data obtained over periods of 1–20 years …

The kinematic acceleration of rock glaciers observed in recent decades shows that the
behavior of these landforms is related to climate change. Velocity variations on yearly to …

The effect of the formation of a major subglacial drainage channel on the behaviour of the
subglacial drainage system of Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Switzerland, was investigated using …
