What is it like to study rock glaciers high in the Andes? In this episode of What On Earth?!, we talk with Dr. Melanie Stammler about her research on rock glacier dynamics and permafrost landscapes in the Dry Andes of Argentina. She explains how scientists use field measurements, drones, and photogrammetry to track how these slow-moving landforms change over time, and what it’s really like to do fieldwork in remote, high-altitude environments. From logistics and harsh conditions to the excitement of collecting data in the mountains, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at real geomorphological research in action. As the first guest on the show we could not be happier that Melanie wanted to join. We hope to see much more of her in the future.
