Rock glacier dynamics near the lower limit of mountain permafrost in the Swiss Alps
筑波大学 University of Tsukuba 博士(理学) Doctor of Philosophy in Science Rock glaciers, a mass of frozen debris moving downslope, are the best geomorphological indicator of permafrost in steep mountainous regions. Although recent studies have revealed in detail the distribution, structure, surface movement...
