Ground-ice stable isotopes and cryostratigraphy reflect late Quaternary palaeoclimate in the Northeast Siberian Arctic (Oyogos Yar coast, Dmitry Laptev Strait) [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2017 To reconstruct palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironmental conditions in the northeast Siberian Arctic, we studied late Quaternary permafrost at the Oyogos Yar coast (Dmitry Laptev Strait).

Brief Communication: The reliability of gas extraction techniques for analysing CH4 and N2O compositions in gas trapped in permafrost ice wedges [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 Methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) compositions in ground ice may provide information on their production mechanisms in permafrost. However, existing gas extraction methods have not been well tested.

Zur Struktur und Entstehung von Eiskeil–Grossformen in Lieth/Elmshorn (Schleswig-Holstein) [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2007 The deposits near the surface of the Permian and Quarternary in the western part of the “Lieth lime quarry” have been intensively periglacially modified.

Dissolved organic carbon loss from Yedoma permafrost amplified by ice wedge thaw
Environmental Research Letters, 2013 Pleistocene Yedoma permafrost contains nearly a third of all organic matter (OM) stored in circum-arctic permafrost and is characterized by the presence of massive ice wedges.

Sedimentological characteristics of ice-wedge polygon terrain in Adventdalen (Svalbard) – environmental and climatic implications for the late Holocene [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2014 Ice wedges are widespread periglacial features in the landscape of Adventdalen, Svalbard. The networks of ice wedges have created areas with well-developed polygonal terrains in the lowest fluvial terraces in this valley.

Eine begrabene Solifluktionsdecke und ihr Einfluß auf die heutige Vegetation: Beobachtungen auf einer Bliesterterrasse (Saarland) [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 1964 In the lower Blies valley the author discovered a periglacial mudflow consisting of white marl and fragments of limestone, surmounted by 25-30 cm river-sand belonging to a Riß-terrace. The surface of these deposits was covered by fossil ice-wedges.

Ground-ice origin and age on Herschel Island (Qikiqtaruk), Yukon, Canada
Quaternary Science Advances, 2023 Glacial legacies preserved in permafrost such as buried glacial ice of the last ice age are of increasing concern in the Western Canadian Arctic. Permafrost collapse due to melting ground ice largely follows the margins of the maximum Laurentide Ice ...

A Numerical Ice Load Prediction Model Based on Ice-Hull Collision Mechanism
Applied Sciences, 2020 A simplified numerical model is introduced to predict ice impact force acting on the ship hull in level ice condition. The model is based on ice-hull collision mechanisms and the essential ice breaking characteristics. The two critical ice failure modes,
