A temperature-dependent mechanical model to assess the stability of degrading permafrost rock slopes

<p>Over the last 2 decades, permafrost degradation has been observed to be a major driver of enhanced rock slope instability and associated hazards in high mountains. While the thermal regime of permafrost degradation in high mountains has been addressed in several modelling approaches, no mec...
