note = {Faced with the hazard potential and geomorphic importance of rock slopes adjusting to glacier retreat and current climate warming, the motivation of this dissertation is to increase our systemic and process understanding of rock slope instability in alpine geomorphic systems. It is hypothesised that a deeper understanding of rock slope instability can be achieved by thinking and working across scales and accounting for the emergence of non-linear, complex rock slope systems. For this reason, a novel hierarchical methodological approach has been developed. The methodology integrates multivariate modelling and geomorphic field mapping at the valley-scale, rockwall-scale geotechnical, geomorphological and sedimentological field surveys in the Turtmann Valley and Swiss National Park as well as numerical frost cracking modelling and laboratory weathering simulations at the intact rock scale. By means of this multi-method and, most importantly, multiscale systems approach, some progress was made towards current research debates about (i) the key controls of rock slope instability in areas affected by glacier retreat, (ii) associated paraglacial and short-term rockfall activity and (iii) their geomorphic consequences for alpine sediment cascade systems.},
