Characterizing Groundwater Flow Dynamics and Storage Capacity in an Active Rock Glacier

Abstract: Alpine aquifers play a critical role in the hydrology of mountainous areas by sustaining base flow in downstream rivers during dry periods and retarding flood propagation after heavy precipitation events. Progressing climate change alters climatic and meteorological boundary conditions as well as the hydraulic response of alpine catchments by ablating glaciers and thawing permafrost. Rock glaciers exert a controlling influence on the catchment response due to their prominent groundwater storage and complex dra… Show more

“…Active rock glaciers exhibit complex drainage patterns indicating a dual groundwater flow system, where large amounts of water are rapidly transported along a network of convoluted meltwater channels eroded into the frozen rock glacier core (Wahrhaftig and Cox, 1959;Potter, 1972;White, 1971;Johnson, 1978;Giardino et al, 1991;Burger et al, 1999;Krainer and Mostler, 2002;Vonder Mühll et al, 2003;Arenson et al, 2010;Springman et al, 2012;Winkler et al, 2018;Jones et al, 2019b;Wagner et al, 2021b;Kainz, 2022).…”
