We present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that
includes the continuous high latitude arctic permafrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous …

Ice wedges are a characteristic feature of northern permafrost landscapes and grow mainly
by snowmelt that refreezes in thermal contraction cracks that open in winter. In high latitudes …

The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world's cold,
non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and …

Rapid development of a new drainage system was observed on Bylot Island. A 750‐m long
gully system was eroded in four years. The process was initiated by the formation of …

Ground ice melt caused by climate-induced permafrost degradation may trigger significant
ecological change, damage infrastructure, and alter biogeochemical cycles. The …

The change of water phase around 0° C has considerable impacts on wildlife ecology
because liquid and solid water strongly differ in their insulating capability, mechanical …

The values of the snow and soil thermal conductivity, k snow and k soil, strongly impact the
thermal regime of the ground in the Arctic, but very few data are available to test model …

Thermo-erosion gullies in continuous permafrost regions where ice-wedge polygons are
widespread contribute and change the drainage of periglacial landscapes. Gullying …

Remote sensing, regional ground temperature and ground ice observations, and numerical
simulation were used to investigate the size, distribution, and activity of ice wedges in fine …

The purpose of the study is to compare the results of the stable isotope analysis (δ18O, δ2H,
and deuterium excess values) of parallel and synchronous ice wedges exposed in one …
