Vertical movements of boulders in a subnival boulder pavement at 2800 m a.s.l. in the Alps (France)

Abstract Vertical movements of boulders within a subnival boulder pavement were measured at 2800 m a.s.l. in the Alps over a period of 10 years. It was demonstrated that some boulders are undergoing sinking and others upheaving. The upheaving occurs in autumn during ground freezing, while the sinkin...
