In 2023, a 54,000 m 3 large rock section failed catastrophically from the unstable rock slope Stampa (Western Norway). The failure occurred in a multistage process with two major failure events on July 1 st and 3 rd . In this study, we present a detailed analysis of the pre-failure displacement patterns, the failure mechanisms, and failure events. After exponential acceleration, the base (12,200 m 3 ) of the rock section faile...

In the current warming climate, many organisms in seasonal environments advance their timing of reproduction to benefit from resource peaks earlier in spring. For migrants, the potential to advance reproduction may be constrained by their migration strategies, notably their ability to advance arrival at the breeding grounds. Recent studies show various changes in migration strategies, including wintering closer to the breeding...

Rock avalanches onto glaciers are rare in Norway. Here, we examine a rock avalanche that spread onto the regenerated Brenndalsbreen, an outlet glacier from Jostedalsbreen ice cap. The rock avalanche is intriguing in that limited information exists with respect to the exact time of failure, location of detachment area, and preparatory and triggering processes. Based on an analysis of ice stratigraphy and photographic documentat...
