Abstract. The Rock Glacier Inventories and Kinematics community (RGIK) has defined standards for generating (RoGI). In the framework of European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative Permafrost (ESA CCI Permafrost), we set up a multi-operator mapping exercise in 12 areas around world. Each RoGI team was composed five to ten operators, involving 41 persons total. operator performed similar steps following RGIK guidelines (RGIK, 2023a) using QGIS tool. individual results were compared...
Rock glaciers are prevalent debris landforms associated with periglacial terrain and formed by the creep of mountain permafrost. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in dynamics evolution rock under climate change. Research indicates a general acceleration rates, as well an incidence glacier destabilization degradation. Recently, Glacier Inventories Kinematics (RGIK) initiative achieved inclusion Velocity (RGV) additional product Essential Climate Variable (ECV) for permafrost...
Rock glaciers are debris landforms resulting from the creep of mountain permafrost. Whereas motion rates related to multiple structural, topographic and climatic factors, range a few cm/a m/a, their interannual variations primarily linked those thermal state With objective provide novel climate change indicator suitable for permafrost environments, established parameters Essential Climate Variable (ECV) Permafrost Active Layer Thickness (ALT) Temperature (PT) have been complemented in 2021...
