<p>InSAR (space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry) data has revealed to be useful for surveying landslides and permafrost creeping features (e.g. rock glaciers) as it permits a time-lapse quantification of topography changes at mm to cm resolution ...

<p>The potential of ERS InSAR for detecting slope motion in a periglacial mountain environment has been tested in the western part of the Swiss Alps. An inventory has been built from the analysis of the InSAR data. It contains a large number of areas that ...

<p>Rockglaciers are permanently frozen sediments supersaturated with ice deforming steadily and slowly on periglacial mountain slopes. The frequency of alpine rockglaciers affected by &ldquo;surge&rdquo; (landslide-like) processes has increased during the ...
