Bernard Francou conducted investigations in geomorphology during the 1983-2001 in the Alps and in the tropical Andes. The aims of these studies were: 1) to document dynamics of slope deposits in a tropical environment marked by the occurrence of many frost-thaw cycles around year 2) to offer analog ...

Very few studies exist in the tropical belt on active rock glaciers. These forms of satured permafrost are rare in the tropical mountains, except where the Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) of glaciers is situated 1000m and more higher than the freezing level (FL). This is the case in southern ...
