Sediment fluxes from creep processes at Jomfrunut, southern Norway

Based on velocity measurements of surface and subsurface creep, sediment flux due to solifluction and ploughing boulder activity were estimated in a mid-alpine site in southern Norway (Finse, UTM185198). The results indicate geomorphic work performed by solifluction of approximately 9 MJkm^-2 a^-1 and imply that sediment flux rates by solifluction under favourable conditions may be comparable to or exceed those of rapid mass movement obtained in more alpine environments.
