Dear project backers,

I am excited to share our new paper: "Using a non-invasive multiple-method approach to characterize rock glaciers in the periglacial critical zone: An example from the San Juan Mountains, Colorado" https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2023.108585

The paper resulted from this project and is part of the special issue: SI: Geomorphology of the Anthropocene; Proceedings of the 51st Annual Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium

Free access until March 21, 2023 using this link:  https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1gVpW,3sl3xERr

About This Project

Rock glaciers are alpine aquifers that store water for long periods of time. Many cities depend on water supply from mountainous river basins that include rock glaciers. Impacts of climate change include reduced precipitation and shorter snow seasons. Thus, river basins originating in mountains will have less available runoff. This research analyzes the mechanism of groundwater flow and the volume of water stored within rock glaciers using electromagnetic induction (EM).
