Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.

A Generalized Interpolation Material Point Method for Shallow Ice Shelves. 1: Shallow Shelf Approximation and Ice Thickness Evolution

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2021
We develop a generalized interpolation material point method (GIMPM) for the shallow shelf approximation (SSA) of ice flow. The GIMPM, which can be viewed as a particle version of the finite element method, is used here to solve the shallow shelf ...

Disposition Model for Permafrost Degradation in Mountainous Regions

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is a widespread thermal phenomenon in Arctic and high mountain regions that, in combination with steep terrain, exerts a key control on slope stability. Its degradation in response to climatic warming can modify the likelihood and timing of rockfall, debris flow and related mass movements. Robust information on the current state and

Neoglacial and historical glacier changes around Kangersuneq fjord in southern West Greenland [PDF]

Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2012
The Nuup Kangerlua region in southern West Greenland became eglaciated in the early Holocene and by the mid-Holocene, the margin of the Inland Ice was located east of its present position.

Influence of snowpack internal structure on snow metamorphism and melting intensity on Hansbreen, Svalbard

Polish Polar Research, 2016
This paper presents a detailed study of melting processes conducted on Hansbreen – a tidewater glacier terminating in the Hornsund fjord, Spitsbergen. The fieldwork was carried out from April to July 2010.

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Quaternary glaciation history and glaciology of Jakobshavn Isbræ and the Disko Bugt region, [PDF]

Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2007
The Disko Bugt region in central West Greenland is characterised by permanent ice streams, of which Jakobshavn Isbræ is by far the most important. The first thorough studies on the glaciology of the region were conducted over 150 years ago by H.J.

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Internal Structure, Kinematics, and Prehistory of Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A), Brooks Range, Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Frozen Debris Lobe‐A (FDL‐A)—one of hundreds of FDLs in the Brooks Range of northern Alaska—is a slow‐moving landslide in permafrost that has been the subject of research since 2008 due to its close proximity to the Dalton Highway. Here, we synthesize more than a decade's worth of climate and surface measurements of monitored FDLs, and the ...

Global sea-level contribution from Arctic land ice: 1971–2017

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP 2017) report identifies the Arctic as the largest regional source of land ice to global sea-level rise in the 2003–2014 period.
