High-energy geomorphic events in the Polish Tatra Mountains

Auteur :
KOTARBA, A.

Description :
The aim of this paper is to examine the temporal patterns and interrelationships between these two types of high-energy geomorphic events (debris flows and rockfall/rockslides) in the Tatra over the last several centuries. At the present time high energy geomorphic events are limited to the apex section of talus slopes and rarely affect the whole slope. During the Little Ice Age debris flows and rockfalls were both more frequent and of greater magnitude due to changes in both climatic factors and earthquake occurrence.
