Rock glacier inventory, Printse Valley, Valais, Switzerland, Version 1

The Printse Valley is a 16-km-long north-orientated basin.The south-part (summits at 300 m asl) is glacierized.The intermediate sector, more continental, is very rich in rock glaciers. We have inventoried 46 rock glaciers. A second sector is the south-orientated basin of Louvie, in which we have inventoried 25 rock glaciers. For each rock glacier a file exists with different characteristics like orientation, width, length, elevation of the spring and the front, type of form, type of material, activity, lithology, etc. Measurements of spring temperatures and BTS (Bottom temperature under snow cover) exist for some rock glaciers, especially in the Tortin zone (see maps). Data collected during 1992 and 1997. These data are presented on the CAPS Version 1.0 CD-ROM, June 1998.普林茨谷（Printse Valley）是一处长16千米、呈北走向的盆地。其南部区域（峰顶海拔300米）为冰川覆盖区。中间区段受大陆性气候影响更显著，分布有大量岩屑冰川（rock glaciers），我们已完成其中46处的编目登记工作。另一研究区段为卢维（Louvie）南向盆地，我们在此共编目登记了25处岩屑冰川。每处岩屑冰川均配有专属档案，记录其走向、宽度、长度、冰源区与冰舌前端的海拔、形态类型、物质组成、活跃性及岩性等多项特征。部分岩屑冰川（尤其托尔坦（Tortin）区域，详见配套地图）拥有冰源区温度及雪层下底温（Bottom temperature under snow cover, BTS）的实测数据。相关数据采集于1992年与1997年，上述数据已收录于1998年6月发布的CAPS 1.0版光盘中。
