This dataset contains information on 749 mass movements (out of which 632 are rockfalls) that were identified during a six-year (2011-2017) terrestrial laserscanning monitoring at the Kitzsteinhorn, Hohe Tauern Range, Austria. The data documents the significant impact that retreating glaciers have on rockfall occurrence in two deglaciating cirques. The dataset includes: mass movement volume, substrate type, failure depth, height of source area above the glacier surface, slope angle/aspect of source area. An extensive analysis and interpretation of the dataset can be found in two research papers published in the open-access journal “Earth Surface Dynamics” (Hartmeyer et al. 2020). Funding information: Data acquisition was co-funded by the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) (Project ‘GlacierRocks’) and the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) (Project ‘MOREXPERT’).

The data contained in this dataset was first published through the Climate Change Centre Austria Data Centre (CCCA-DC). Due to the decommissioning of the CCCA-DC, the data was transferred to the GeoSphere Austria Datahub in 2024. During the transfer, the granularity and structure of the metadata were adjusted in accordance with the dataset's authors to meet the requirements of the GeoSphere Austria Datahub. The data itself remained unchanged. For further inquiries, please contact datenzentrum@ccca.ac.at. |
