The hydro-thermo-mechanical state is important for embankments in permafrost regions,
especially for the embankments with shady and sunny slopes. It is difficult to determine the …

Infrastructure built on perennially frozen ice-rich ground relies heavily on thermally stable
subsurface conditions. Climate warming-induced deepening of ground thaw puts such …

The warming trend presents a significant threat to the underlying permafrost. Talik formation
is widely recognized as a significant mechanism of permafrost degradation. Our research …

Taliks are bodies or layers of unfrozen ground in permafrost areas. Recent research on
taliks has been driven largely by the potential for release of greenhouse gases as taliks …

The instability of irrigation reservoir bank slopes in cold regions has seriously affected the
benign development of irrigation areas and agricultural production in recent years. To …

Two-phase closed thermosyphon (TPCT) is a popular way to prevent permafrost layers from
degrading, and consequently ensure the stabilities of engineering constructions in …

Annual mean ground temperatures (Tg) decline northward from approximately− 3.0° C in the
boreal forest to− 7.0° C in dwarf‐shrub tundra in the Tuktoyuktuk Coastlands and Anderson …

Unfrozen water within frozen soils is a key component that determines a soil's
thermophysical response to changing physical and environmental conditions. The …

Permafrost conditions were examined near the Dempster Highway embankment on Peel
Plateau, Northwest Territories. Ground temperatures were recorded in 2013–2015 at five …

Permafrost is widely distributed in the northern hemisphere and permafrost degradation
underneath transportation infrastructure is on-going due to many factors, such as climate …
