... , 37 , 77 – 87 . The timing of rock-slope failure at Baosbheinn is also of interest. Downwastage and retreat of glacier ice in mountain environments is frequently accompanied by whole-slope RSFs, which have generally been attributed to 'debuttressing' (deglacial unloading) and associated...

... (m) times the width (m) of the toe ( Innes 1983 a , 1985 ). Innes’ equation was also applied to debris flow toes on Baosbheinn, Wester Ross, using measurements extracted from South Harris & Gairloch Survey panchromatic photos, 1971: photoscale 1:10 000. The use of both Innes’ and Larsson’s...

... as diverse as adjustments of mountain rockwalls and coastal environments (e.g. Wyrwoll 1977 ; Forbes & Syvitski 1994 ). This has led to redefinition of the term as ‘non-glacial Earth surface processes, sediment accumulations, landforms, landsystems and landscapes that are directly conditioned...

... Abstract Rock slope failure (RSF) generates the largest single erosional events in the glacial–paraglacial land system, leaving numerous obvious cavities and less obviously weakened valley walls. Its contribution to trough widening in a mountain range has not previously been systematically...

... to c. −24°C. Geographically, permafrost can be classified into four main types: (1) polar permafrost (e.g. in Arctic and Subarctic lowlands); (2) mountain (alpine) permafrost (e.g. in the Western Cordillera of the Americas and the European Alps); (3) plateau (montane) permafrost (e.g...

... for use in all engineering geology investigations. The techniques were regarded as essential for engineering geological investigations in hot deserts ( Shilston et al. 2012 ) and mountain roads ( Hearn 2011 a , b ). These two publications describe the application of various terrain evaluation...
