The upsurge of public interest in northern regions in recent years has brought the name `permafrost' into the market place. The proposed construction of pipelines for gas and oil from the Arctic Coast to southern Canada is now generally known to be complicated by the existence of permafrost along considerable parts of the routes that may be followed ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Rock Physics of the Critical Zone: Models, Inversion, and Interpretation
Abstract Rock physics models link geophysical measurements with subsurface petrophysical properties, such as porosity, mineral composition, and fluid saturation. While originally developed for hydrocarbon exploration, these models are increasingly applied in the near surface for quantitative interpretation of geophysical data.

Reconstructing China's Natural Streamflow at 1‐km Resolution
Abstract Climate change and intensifying human activities are placing unprecedented pressure on China's water resources, necessitating high‐resolution, naturalized streamflow records for effective management. We develop a 1‐km gridded fully coupled land‐surface‐hydrologic‐hydrodynamic modeling system for China based on the CLHMSv2.0 model.

Abstract Frozen ground, including permafrost and seasonally frozen ground (SFG), is a critical element of the cryosphere that strongly regulates hydrological processes in cold regions. It has been debated whether frozen ground degradation will make landscapes more, or less, sensitive to precipitation inputs; either outcome has profound implications for

Exploring Potential Mechanisms for the Initiation of Solifluction Patterns
Abstract Hillslopes in arctic regions commonly display large‐scale features—known as solifluction patterns—that form due to the exceedingly slow downhill movement of frost‐heaved soil. Here we use a combination of remote sensing data, linear stability analysis, numerical modeling, and review of a wide range of literature to evaluate several working ...
