Bewegungsmessungen am Blockgletscher Macun (Schweizerischer Nationalark)
Measurements of movements in the rock glacier of Macun (Swiss National Park)
Project Number: CH-2196
Research Areas:
Disciplines:
Keywords:
Swiss Alps, Lower Engadin, Rock Glaciers, Surface Survey, Changes in elevation, Rate of movement of rock glacier
Abstract:
The rockglacier ''Macun 1'' is located in the Lower Engadine, Grisons, Swiss Alps and reaches from about 2720 m a.s.l. down to 2610 m a.s.l. (Figure). It has been surveyed by Dietrich Barsch and his co-operators from 1965 until 1997. The results of these measurements are displayed in the Tables. It is intended to continue the survey in intervals of at least every three years. The horizontal displacement, which was rather constant between 1967 and 1988, has increased remarkably in the last years (cf. Zick, 1996).
