Rock glaciers represent the dynamic interaction between rock and ice in many alpine settings that lie below the Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA). These periglacial systems are formed by avalanched snow and debris from an overlying headwall, and are adorned with distinct topographic lobes collectively...
