“…As the debris cover on the Val Veny glaciers is the result of an important production of debris along the steep south exposed headwalls, several studies focused on the history of the slope instabilities, along with their climatic and structural controls (Giardino et al, 2013;Deline et al, 2015), as well as on the formation of supraglacial debris cover (Kirkbride & Deline, 2013;Deline & Kirkbride, 2017).…”

The glacier surface flow velocity data presented in this work have been generated within the framework of "Glacier Science in the Alps" project (contract no. 4000133436/20/I-NB) coordinated by Frank Paul (University of Zurich) and funded by the European Space Agency (ESA). This work has also been supported by the project SatIceFY funded by the LabEx OSUG@2020 (Investissements d'Avenir-ANR10 LABX56). We thank the GLIMS initiative (https://www.glims.org/) and the "CES Glaciers" of the French Pôle National de Données THEIA (https://www.theia-land.fr/ceslist/ces-glaciers/) for the support regarding the distribution of the satellite products used in this work, particularly R. Hugonnet and E. Berthier for the Dh/Dt maps. Finally, we would like to thank the editors and reviewers for their careful proofreading and comments on the manuscript.

“…Comme la couverture de débris sur les glaciers du Val Veny est le résultat d'une production importante de débris par les hautes parois exposées au sud surplombant les glaciers, plusieurs études se sont concentrées sur l'histoire des instabilités dans ces versants, leurs contrôles climatiques et structuraux (Giardino et al, 2013 ;Deline et al, 2015), ainsi que sur la formation de la couverture de débris supra-glaciaire (Kirkbride & Deline, 2013 ;Deline & Kirkbride, 2017).…”

“…Particular attention should be given to areas of recent (since the end of the 'Little Ice Age' glacierization -LIA, around 1865; Painter et al, 2013) and very recent (last 2-3 decades) deglaciation: here, rocks and deposits have come to light, which were previously buried by ice and therefore not exposed to atmospheric processes (e.g. frost/thaw cycles) and to gravitational instability phenomena (Chiarle, Geertsema, Mortara, & Clague, 2011;Deline, Gardent, Magnin, & Ravanel, 2012;Giardino, Perotti, Bacenetti, & Zamparutti, 2013). Being in disequilibrium with current environmental conditions at the ground/atmosphere interface, recently deglaciated areas are, thus, particularly prone to instability (Deline et al, 2015;Huggel, 2009;Paranunzio, Laio, Nigrelli, & Chiarle, 2015).…”

Glaciated and recently (post-Little Ice Age) deglaciated areas are very dynamic environments, undergoing continuous changes, in particular as a consequence of climatic fluctuations and cryosphere changes. The intense geomorphic activity that takes place here conditions natural hazard, sediment transport and tourist fruition. A geo-morphological mapping with applicative purposes has to take into account the peculiarities and the dynamism of these specific areas. We here propose a methodological approach based on the interpretation of a multitemporal set of aerial photos (from 1983 to 2012), in a GIS environment, with application to the sectors modeled by Little Ice Age glaciers in the upper Orco Valley (NW Italy). The result is a geo-morphological map focused on the elements that are most relevant for application purposes, complemented by a map of the spatio-temporal distribution of the natural instability processes identified in the study area for the reference period, aimed to highlight the recent dynamism of the geomorphological elements in the map.
