DESCRIPTION:ABSTRACT. \nThe multidisciplinary investigations\ndescribed in
  this presentation have focused on three rock glaciers\, Muragl\, Murtèl-
 Corvatsch and Furggwanghorn\, all of which have been subject to a varying 
 degree of prior study\, and which are continuing to attract new generation
 s of researchers to understand and explain the processes and predict futur
 e behaviour. This presentation marks a stage at which it is possible to su
 mmarize some advances in the state of the art and associated innovations. 
 Some thoughts on the development of thermokarst due to water ponding and f
 low\, and a conceptual model of geotechnical mechanisms that aim to explai
 n some aspects of rock glacier kinematics\, are also introduced.\n
