Slope instabilities on perennially frozen and glacierised rock walls: multi-scale observations, analyses and modelling
Slope failures from steep bedrock slopes have occurred in mountain areas throughout time. This is a consequence of the topography, geological characteristics, intense freeze-thaw activity and oversteepened slopes from glacier erosion. However, during the past decades, an increased number of periglac...
