The origin and mobilization of the extensive debris cover associated with the glaciers of the Nanga Parbat Himalaya is complex. The AA. propose a mechanism by which glaciers can form rock glaciers through inefficiency of sediment transfer from
Mass movement in the Himalaya : new insights and research directions
Mass movement in the Himalaya
The processes of mass movement in the Himalaya have been described many times for the past two centuries. Recently, developments in a variety of fields have been introduced to assess the character of mass movement. Geomorphometry, remote sensing
, digital elevation models, and geographic information system technology are revolutionizing the study of mass movement in the Himalaya.
