Abstract
Interest in rock glaciers has a long-standing tradition in ltaty. Harmann, Nangeroni and Capello pioneered work on this type of landfonn in the Wesfem and Central Alps, starting from the mid 19205; this work was continued until the end of the 19505. After that time. in other countries indepth research continued and developed beyond the already completed descriptive phase, whereas in Italy specific research on this topic was no longer being done. It was only at the start of the 19805 that within the scope of work being done by the Glaciology Section of the Gruppo Nazionale Geografia Fisica e Geomorfologia (National Group on Physical Geography and Geomorphology) of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (National Research Council), thanks to the efforts of G.B. Casliglioni, interest in these landforms so characteristic of the morphoclimatic periglacial and glacial domain, was renewed once again. This interest was then transformed into the energetic activity of all of the members of the Sector as regards the preparation of the inventory presented here.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
