#rockfall yesterday in the Maurienne Valley, french #Alps ๐ซ๐ท, causing the cut of roads to Italy ๐ฎ๐น.
โฉThe relation to the #permafrost melting, as suggested in the paper, is questionable because of low elevation of the eventโฆ
But any impact from the heavy rains of past days?

Late #MountainMonday from the #LTER site in Matsch/Mazia, #SouthTyrol, #Italy.
Went up to 3000m to my sampling plots and we heared a #rockfall.
Nice hike on the high ridge between the valley.
Love my job ๐

Swiss and Austrian mountains collapse
"Global heating had led to the melting of permafrost, which acts like an adhesive holding the massif together. The summit of a mountain in Austria also crashed to the ground earlier this week."

8 years of summer heatwaves, in the Alps, are resulting in shrinking 800 to 4,500 year old permafrost and consequent increase in rockfalls. ย The mountains are starting to crumble.
The unusual accessibility of Swiss mountains, most notably Mont Blanc, plus early warning signs from late 90s, that were not ignored, have led to an impressive understanding of what's happening... and it's not good.

This map shows the classified road network from our recent paper in Geomatics, Natural Hazards and Risk - the arrow shows the location of the event. Classification is green-yellow-orange-red-purple in increasing order of intersecting number of possible trajectory, in each road asegment, simulated with a 3D model.

A bit hazy and the #landslide deposit is already partly covered in snow, but here is a pre- and post-event comparison from #planet #planetlabs of the #SnowpatchSpire #rockfall in the #bugaboos today (or maybe late yesterday).

H/T @drewbrayshaw@twitter.com for the alert, but there has been a pretty sizeable #rockfall on #SnowpatchSpire in the #Bugaboos that has destroyed some popular climbing routes. The #landslide appears to have happened today or maybe late yesterday, based on available #satellite imagery, and crashed onto the #glacier below. No recorded #earthquakes that could have triggered the failure.

#Yosemite Via NPS: The Big Oak Flat Road is closed between the Foresta junction and Yosemite Valley due to a rockfall (may be closed for several days). There is no access to Yosemite Valley via Hwy. 120 from the west. Highways 140 and 41 to Yosemite are open. Call 209/372-0200 for road conditions. #rockfall #landslide #NPS #California

Scenes from the North Cascades. I saw the marmot moving through the grass north of Glacier Peak, and the fat pika calmly regarded me from the rockfall at Hopkins Pass five miles south of the Canadian border last September.
