Quantifying Surface‐Height Change Over a Periglacial Environment With ICESat‐2 Laser Altimetry [PDF]
Earth and Space Science, 2021 We use Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat‐2) laser altimetry crossovers and repeat tracks collected over the North Slope of Alaska to estimate ground surface‐height change due to the seasonal freezing and thawing of the active layer.

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

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingThe kinematics of rock glaciers is a key indicator for studying periglacial environment hydrology, climate, and disasters. The interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technique has been demonstrated to be an effective technique for detecting the

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

Introduction to the periglacial environment in Finland [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1997 An overview is presented of the periglacial characteristics of climate and landforms in Finland. Mean annual air temperature (MAAT) in Finland ranges from +5.5 to -3°C, and frost sums in most parts of the country are large enough for active seasonal ...
