Short Communication Permafrost Creep within a Recently Deglaciated Glacier Forefield: Muragl, Swiss Alps

ABSTRACT Photogrammetric measurements of surface movement, 1981-94, on the Muragl glacier forefield (Swiss Alps) are compared to direct current resistivity surveys for the same area. At three locations isolated patches of frozen sediments were inferred, each about 10,000-20,000 m 2 in area. These we...
