Rock Glacier Distribution, Activity and Movement, Northern Absaroka and Beartooth Ranges, MT, USA
<p>Rock glaciers of the northern Absaroka and Beartooth Ranges have not previously been described. Six-hundred and sixty rock glaciers were hand digitized in a GIS and evaluated using 11 distributional characteristics. Beartooth rock glaciers were found to occur at higher elevations, receive more …

Internal composition, structure, and hydrological significance of rock glaciers in the Eastern Cascades, Washington
… will diminish from glacial recession. However, rock glaciers, because their internal ice (i.e., permafrost) is insulated by an outer debris layer, react slowly to climate change, thus acting as sinks for ice and liquid water storage in mountain environments. This study utilized ground …

Between a rock and a hard place: the chemistry, biology, and lability of glacial meltwaters in the American West
Glaciers and rock glaciers supply water and nutrients to headwater mountain lakes and streams across all regions of the American West. The resulting changes in volume, timing, and chemistry of meltwater discharged by these features appears to be having significant effects on the adjacent alpine …
