The blocking of river courses by mass movements is very common in mountainous areas
with deep and narrow valleys. Landslide dams may pose serious threats to people and their …

Rapid permafrost thaw in the high-latitude and high-elevation areas increases hillslope
susceptibility to landsliding by altering geotechnical properties of hillslope materials …

An extreme (weather or climate) event is generally defined as the occurrence of a value of a
weather or climate variable above (or below) a threshold value near the upper (or lower) …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

In this paper, we develop a mechanical model that relates the destabilization of thawing
permafrost rock slopes to temperature‐related effects on both, rock‐and ice‐mechanics; and …

Climate change, manifested by an increase in mean, minimum, and maximum temperatures
and by more intense rainstorms, is becoming more evident in many regions. An important …

Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …

Global change has been accompanied by recent increases in the frequency and intensity of
various ecological disturbances (eg, fires, floods, cyclones), both natural and anthropogenic …

Permafrost in steep bedrock is abundant in many cold‐mountain areas, and its degradation
can cause slope instability that is unexpected and unprecedented in location, magnitude …

Glaciation and deglaciation, along with their associated climatic and non-climatic processes,
modify slope stresses and influence slope stability. Paraglacial slope failures are those that …
