Permafrost creep within a recently deglaciated glacier forefield: Muragl, Swiss Alps
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 m2 in area. These were deformi...
