Insights into a remote cryosphere: a multi-method approach to assess permafrost occurrence at the Qugaqie basin, western Nyainqêntanglha Range, Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Permafrost as a climate-sensitive parameter and its occurrence and distribution play an important role in the observation of global warming. However, field-based permafrost distribution data and information on the subsurface ice content in the large area

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 ...

Regional-scale inventory of periglacial moving landforms connected to the torrential network system [PDF]
Geographica Helvetica, 2018 When connected to torrential channels, periglacial moving landforms (including rock glaciers, push moraines and high-altitude landsliding masses) may constitute important active sediment sources for gravitational and torrential transfer processes such as
