Rockwall permafrost investigation is essential for understanding of its role in the triggering of rock falls. To estimate permafrost distribution in the Mont Blanc massif rockwalls, we developed three axes of research based on three methods. The monitoring of rockwall temperatures at the pilot-site,...
