a Scanned rockwalls of the Hungerli Valley with highlighted glacier history (coloured lines). Instrumented rockwalls (red point), investigated talus slopes (brown polygons) and scan positions (red stars) are highlighted (source: swissALTI3d from swissTopo). b 3D representation of scanned rockwall area (red rectangle), modelled permafrost distribution and quantified rockfall volumes for 2016 to 2019 (source: swissALTI3d and swissIMAGE25 from swissTopo).
