Global change has opened up new perspectives of research in geomorphology, particularly in alpine areas where glacial retreat implies specific adjustments, called paraglacial. During the last three decades, paraglacial processes have been identified and their rate of activity documented. However such adjustments have never been integrated in a whole landsystem. Thus, conceptualizations of sediments storage and release are needed. This work is led at two time scales. First, since the late glacial maximum (20 000BP), we document the consequences of glacial decay on slope instability and debuttressing. A chronological framework of both glacial retreat and timing of mass-movement triggering, based upon cosmogenic datings, is established. The co...
