Mountain Permafrost: A Reflection on the Periglacial Environment in Mongolia
Geosciences, 2023 There are different ideas about the classification and distribution of permafrost in Mongolia. Terms such as continuous, discontinuous, sporadic, and isolated permafrost are inconsistently applied; hence, maps of permafrost display different distribution

Remote Sensing, 2018 In permafrost areas, seasonal freeze-thaw cycles result in upward and downward movements of the ground. For some permafrost areas, long-term downward movements were reported during the last decade.

Periglacial landforms and the geological controlling factors: examples from the highest mountains of the Balkan Peninsula [PDF]
Journal of the Bulgarian Geographical Society, 2021 Periglacial landforms are typical features of the high mountain environment on the Balkan Peninsula. Their formation and diversity is determined by climatic, topographic and geological factors. Presently active periglacial processes occur above 1700-2000

Periglacial relief of Crnook (southeast Serbia) [PDF]
Glasnik Srpskog Geografskog Društva, 2012 This paper presents the results of geomorphological research of the periglacial relief on mountain Crnook (1881 m) in Southeast Serbia. The results have showed the significant presence of modern periglacial morphology on this mountain which is ...

Detecting upland glaciation in Earth’s pre-Pleistocene record
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Earth has sustained continental glaciation several times in its past. Because continental glaciers ground to low elevations, sedimentary records of ice contact can be preserved from regions that were below base level, or subject to subsidence.

Yedoma Ice Complex of the Buor Khaya Peninsula (southern Laptev Sea) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 The composition of perennially frozen deposits holds information on the palaeo-environment during and following deposition. In this study, we investigate late Pleistocene permafrost at the western coast of the Buor Khaya Peninsula in the south-central ...

Organic-matter quality of deep permafrost carbon – a study from Arctic Siberia [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2015 The organic-carbon (OC) pool accumulated in Arctic permafrost (perennially frozen ground) equals the carbon stored in the modern atmosphere. To give an idea of how Yedoma region permafrost could respond under future climatic warming, we conducted a study
