Late Pleistocene to Holocene glacial, periglacial, and paraglacial geomorphology of the upper Río Limarí basin (30–31° S) in the Andes of central Chile
We present a field-based reconstruction of the geomorphology in the Subtropical Andean mountains of the Limarí basin, semiarid central Chile (30–31° S). Fieldwork campaigns and remote-sensing analysis served for detailed geomorphological mapping at four formerly glaciated valleys in the heads of the Combarbalá and Río Hurtado sub-basins. We identify a mosaic of glacial, periglacial, and paraglacial landforms. Glacial landforms include a massive d…
Acceleration and interannual variability of creep rates in mountain permafrost landforms (rock glacier velocities) in the European Alps in 1995–2022
Cryospheric long-term timeseries get increasingly important. To document climate-related effects on long-term viscous creep of ice-rich mountain permafrost, we investigated timeseries (1995–2022) of geodetically-derived Rock Glacier Velocity (RGV), i.e. spatially averaged interannual velocity timeseries related to a rock glacier (RG) unit or part of it. We considered 50 RGV from 43 RGs spatially covering the entire European Alps. Eight of these R…
Introduction to the special issue of Geographica Helvetica
Worldwide Assessment of National Glacier Monitoring and Future Perspectives
It is widely accepted that glaciers are retreating throughout the world and that their decline causes serious impacts on many societies. Knowledge of glacier distribution and quantification of glacier changes is crucial to assessing the impact of glacier shrinkage on the transboundary hydrological cycle and related issues, such as irrigation, energy production, and natural hazard prevention. Therefore, glacier monitoring is vital to the developme…
Climate Change and Permafrost
Permafrost is a thermal phenomenon of the lithosphere and applies to ground that remains at or below 0°C for at least two consecutive years. Permafrost is coupled to atmospheric conditions and as such is sensitive to climatic changes. Thawing of permafrost can lead to destabilization of steep slopes or infrastructure, and a major concern is the release of radiative active forcing gases such as methane stored in permafrost ground. Projections of p…
Overview of rock glacier kinematics research in the Swiss Alps
The acceleration of rock glacier surface velocities over the two last decades and the destabilization of several landforms show that permafrost creep conditions are changing in the Alps. This article summarizes and presents current understanding of creep behaviour of rock glaciers in the Swiss Alps and emphasises changes that have occurred over the last years and decades. The almost homogeneous interannual behaviour of rock glaciers despite diffe…
An introduction to mountain glaciers as climate indicators with spatial and temporal diversity
This article gives an introduction to the spatial and temporal diversity of mountain glaciers as climate indicators. Alongside some information about the present extent of mountain glaciation and available databases, some specific problems with the interpretation of mountain glacier changes are highlighted
