Unusual catchment runoff in a high alpine karst environment influenced by a complex geological setting (Northern Calcareous Alps, Tyrol, Austria)

Karl Krainer et al.

Summary: Garber Schlag (Q-GS) is a major spring in the Karwendel Mountains of Tyrol, Austria, with unique runoff patterns controlled by the tectonic setting. The discharge of the spring shows strong seasonal variations, influenced by three recharge origins: snowmelt, rainfall, and groundwater.

Rock glaciers represent hidden water stores in the Himalaya

D. B. Jones et al.

Summary: The WVEQ of Himalayan rock glaciers is around 51.80 +/- 10.36 km(3), making them hydrologically valuable compared to glaciers, and their relative importance in terms of water resources may increase in the context of climate change.

A Framework for Modeling Rock Glaciers and Permafrost at the Basin-Scale in High Alpine Catchments

L. Pruessner et al.

Summary: Rock glaciers and permafrost may serve as important water reservoirs in the future, requiring distributed runoff models for estimation. A new model integrating permafrost and rock glaciers in Alpine catchments is introduced and compared to existing models.

Storage-discharge characteristics of an active rock glacier catchment in the Innere olgrube, Austrian Alps

Thomas Wagner et al.

Summary: Various hydro(geo)logical tools were used to assess the active rock glacier Innere olgrube and its catchment area in the Otztal Alps, Austria. The study found that snowmelt, ice melt, and rainfall contribute 35.8%, 27.6%, and 36.6%, respectively, to the catchment. Isotopic data revealed that water derived from ice melt mainly comes from two small cirque glaciers within the catchment.

High-resolution inventory to capture glacier disintegration in the Austrian Silvretta

Andrea Fischer et al.

Summary: The high-resolution glacier inventory in the Austrian Silvretta reveals a rapid decay in glacier area for the years 2017 and 2018, with a substantial loss compared to the Little Ice Age extent. Manual mapping of glacier outlines based on lidar elevation models and volume change patterns allowed for a detailed analysis of the buried glacier remnants. The findings suggest an increased area change rate and a recommendation for inventory repeat frequencies to track the fate of buried ice.
