Record #193140:

Glacier stream activity in the proglacial area of debris covered area in Aosta Valley, Italy: an application of dendroglaciology / V. Garavaglia, M. Pelfini, E. Motta.

Title: Glacier stream activity in the proglacial area of debris covered area in Aosta Valley, Italy: an application of dendroglaciology / V. Garavaglia, M. Pelfini, E. Motta.
Author(s): Garavaglia, V.

Motta, E.
Date: 2010.
In: Geografia Fisica e Dinamica Quaternaria. (2010.), Vol. 33(1) (2010)
Abstract: Presents study of Miage Glacier, Mont Blanc Massif, examining how trees growing on debris layer in proglacial area close to glacier terminus and stream can contribute to reconstruction of glacier stream fluctuations and dynamics, aiding understanding of behaviour of debris covered glaciers and glacial discharge. Uses dated scars, compression wood and ring-width releases and reductions to detect areas directly affected by glacial discharge or subject to boulders falling from glacier front. Identifies concentration of growth anomalies starting from 1984, probably indicating intensified glacial activity. Discusses role of such information in detecting glacial hazard and risk, e.g. where trails cross sandur and glacial streams.
