DOI: 10.1002/esp.4532
Abstract: Rock glaciers in semiarid mountains contain large amounts of ice and might be important water stores aside from glaciers, lakes, and rivers. Yet whether and how rock glaciers interact with river channels in mountain valleys… read more here.

When do rock glacier fronts fail? Insights from two case studies in South Tyrol (Italian Alps)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.5099
Abstract: The fronts of two rock glaciers located in South Tyrol (Italian Alps) failed on 13 August 2014, initiating debris flows in their downslope channels. A multimethod approach including climate, meteorological, and ground temperature data analysis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ppp.2004
Abstract: Change analysis of rock glaciers is crucial to analyzing the adaptation of surface and subsurface processes to changing environmental conditions at different timescales because rock glaciers are considered as potentially unstable slopes and solid water… read more here.

Glaciation of alpine valleys: The glacier – debris-covered glacier – rock glacier continuum
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Geomorphology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2018.03.015
Abstract: Abstract Alpine ice varies from pure ice glaciers to partially debris-covered glaciers to rock glaciers, as defined by the degree of debris cover. In many low- to mid-latitude mountain ranges, the few bare ice glaciers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2018.09.005
Abstract: Abstract Rock glaciers are permafrost or glacial landforms of debris and ice that deform under the influence of gravity. Recent estimates hold that, in the semiarid Chilean Andes for example, active rock glaciers store more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2019.03.019
Abstract: Abstract Rock glaciers and buried ice are common in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica. In central Taylor and Pearse valleys rock glaciers cover at least 10% of the valley walls and occur at elevations of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2019.106887
Abstract: Ice presence in rock glaciers is a topic that is likely to gain importance in the future due to the expected decrease in water supply from glaciers and the increase of mass movements originating in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl102796
Abstract: 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 seasonal time scales are frequently investigated, but velocity… read more here.
