Temporal and spatial variations in periglacial soil movements on alpine crest slopes

Abstract: This paper describes up to ten years of continuous monitoring of frost heave, creep and associated parameters on high mountain crest slopes in the Japanese and Swiss Alps, aiming to evaluate spatial and interannual variations in the rates and controls of soil movement. Shallow frost creep reflecting diurnal frost heave activity dominates the crest slopes that lack a vegetation mat and have a thin debris mantle with good drainage. Seasonal frost heave activity can induce slightly deeper movement where fine soil… Show more

“…Most field studies, do not provide real time data on soil movement in relation to ground temperature, phase change, frost heave and thaw settlement (but see Lewkowicz and Clark, 1998;Matsuoka, 1998Matsuoka, , 2005Matsuoka and Hirakawa, 2000;Jaesche et al, 2003;Kinnard and Lewkowicz, 2006), and periglacial landslide research has largely been restricted to post event descriptions and back analyses. Lewkowicz (2007) has, however, recently provided detailed observations of active landsliding in Ellesmere Island.…”

“…Drier steeper slopes are often dominated by frost creep associated with short-term freeze-thaw cycles (Matsuoka, 2005;Matsuoka et al, 1997)., while gelifluction is generally more important than frost creep at snow-rich sites with deep seasonal ground freezing (Jaesche et al, 2003;Harris et al, 2008c).…”

“…Solifluction and creep processes are also strongly influenced by snow regime, by freezethaw cycles and the depth affected, precipitation throughout the relevant periods (Matsuoka 2005). Remotely sensed multi-temporal data sets can provide spatial and temporal information concerning snowmelt patterns (duration and depth; e.g.…”
