Seasonal ice storage changes and meltwater generation at Murtèl rock glacier (Engadine, eastern Swiss Alps): estimates from measurements and energy budgets in the coarse blocky active layer
<p>Intact rock glaciers, a permafrost landform common in high-mountain regions, are often conceptualised as (frozen) water reserves. In a warming climate with slowly degrading permafrost, the large belowground ice volumes might suggest a buffering effect on summer streamflow that due to the cl...
