Short summary
Climate change is altering the water cycle in mountain regions as glaciers melt, but slower-degrading rock glaciers remain influential. This study examines how a rock glacier in Yukon, Canada, interacts with a riverbed, using a combination of remote sensing and hydrochemical methods. It shows that rock glaciers shape river channels, affect groundwater flow, and encourage ice formation in winter.
