Kinematics of an Alpine rock glacier from multi-temporal UAV surveys and GNSS data

Francesca Bearzot et al.

Summary: The study investigates the flow patterns of Gran Sometta rock glacier in the Western Italian Alps using various methods including UAV surveys, GNSS campaigns, geophysical prospections, and ground surface temperature data. The results reveal surface lowering and accumulation processes, with higher horizontal velocities observed on the left side of the rock glacier tongue and thaw subsidence on the right side. Comparison with other rock glaciers in the European Alps shows an increase in flow velocity in recent years. The dynamics of the rock glacier can be explained by the distribution of permafrost and the thermal regime of the ground surface.

Surface velocity fields of active rock glaciers and ice-debris complexes in the Central Andes of Argentina

Jan Henrik Blothe et al.

Summary: This study utilized satellite imagery to analyze surface velocity fields of rock glaciers and ice-debris complexes in the Cordon del Plata range of Argentina, revealing a high number of fast-flowing periglacial landforms in the region. The research also introduced a predictive model for activity status based on morphometric and topoclimatic factors, indicating the importance of both topoclimatic parameters and geometric parameters in governing local deformation.

Szymon Sledz et al.

Summary: UAVs combined with SfM photogrammetry have become an efficient workflow in glacial and periglacial geomorphology, offering flexible spatial and temporal resolution to better understand process-form relationships. The future potential applications could include combining UAV data with historical archives and other technologies for a deeper understanding of landscape changes in response to climate warming.

Interpretation of Volume and Flux Changes of the Laurichard Rock Glacier Between 1952 and 2019, French Alps

Diego Cusicanqui et al.

Summary: Rock glaciers are important components of the mountain cryosphere, consisting of a mix of ice and rock. This study focused on the long-term changes of the Laurichard rock glacier in the French Alps, revealing impacts of climate change on thickness, flow velocities, and surface mass balance. Results show an acceleration in flow speed and thickness changes mainly driven by surface mass balance, with the lower part of the rock glacier influenced by compressive flow in the most recent period.

Ice content and interannual water storage changes of an active rock glacier in the dry Andes of Argentina

Christian Halla et al.

Summary: Quantification of ice and water content in active rock glaciers in the Andes of Argentina is crucial for estimating their role as water stores and contributors to runoff in dry mountain catchments. Despite their potential as important water reservoirs, water storage capacities and interannual changes have not been quantified in detailed field studies.

Inventory and changes of rock glacier creep speeds in Ile Alatau and Kungoy Ala-Too, northern Tien Shan, since the 1950s

Andreas Kaab et al.

Summary: This study investigates the spatio-temporal variability of rock glacier movement in the Ile Alatau and Kungoy Ala-Too mountain ranges in the northern Tien Shan region. The results show a significant increase in speed of fast rock glaciers, with some glaciers showing speeds two to four times higher in recent years compared to the 1950s and 1960s. This suggests a possible increase in sediment and ice fluxes through rock glaciers in the region, and highlights the local variability of rock glacier response to atmospheric warming.
