Focusing on the unique landform of rockglaciers, the book explores their significance as indicators of mountain permafrost dynamics and their implications for understanding thermal conditions, talus production, hydrology, and hazards in high-altitude environments. It emphasizes the paleoclimatic value of these relict features and provides a systematic examination of rockglaciers within their broader environmental context, making it a valuable resource for those studying geomorphology and climate change in mountainous regions.
