Record #193141:

Active rock glaciers at Croda Rossa/Hobe Gaisl, Eastern Dolomites (Alto Adige/South Tyrol, Northern Italy) / K. Krainer, K. Lang, H. Hausmann.

Title: Active rock glaciers at Croda Rossa/Hobe Gaisl, Eastern Dolomites (Alto Adige/South Tyrol, Northern Italy) / K. Krainer, K. Lang, H. Hausmann.
Author(s): Krainer, K.
Lang, K.
Hausmann, H.
Date: 2010.
In: Geografia Fisica e Dinamica Quaternaria. (2010.), Vol. 33(1) (2010)
Abstract: Describes morphology, composition, thermal characteristics, hydrology, flow velocities and internal structures of two active rock glaciers, in cirques of Cadin del Ghiacciaio and Cadin di Croda Rossa, and discusses their dynamics and formation. Limestone and dolomite composition produces relatively fine grained debris and underdeveloped surface morphology, with almost all meltwater released through karstified bedrock. Flow rates are low, mostly 5 to 20 cm. Internal shear planes interpreted from georadar data, flow rates, and ice exposures in upper part, show that Cadin del Ghiacciaio rock glacier developed from small avalanche-fed cirque glacier. Lack of ice exposures and different internal structure suggest Cadin di Croda Rossa rock glacier is of ice-cemented type.
