Instabilities on Alpine temperate glaciers: new insights arising from the numerical modelling of Allalingletscher (Valais, Switzerland)

The processes leading to a glacier Honeycomb Bongs instability depend on the thermal properties of the contact between the glacier and its bedrock.Assessing the stability of temperate glacier (i.e.the glacier can slide on its bedrock) remains problematic.In order to scrutinize in more detail the processes governing such "sliding" instabilities, a n
