Mountain permafrost and slope instability in the Italian Alps: The Val Pola Landslide
Abstract In July 1987 a landslide affected the Val Pola (Central Alps, Italy) causing several casualities and severe damage. The main conditioning and triggering factors for the huge debris avalanche are described and possible mechanisms are suggested. Present‐day high‐mountain periglacial condition...
