Water tracks in the lower Lena River basin [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
In the permafrost regions, where water filtration zone is limited by the shallow active layer, the surface flow forms a network of hollows, called «water tracks», oriented along the slope gradient.

Establishment of Permafrost Thermal Monitoring Sites in East Siberia

open access: yesLand, 2020
Permafrost lies close to the surface of the day, therefore, it is able to quickly respond to modern climatic changes. Under these conditions, the goal of understanding the evolution of permafrost in the near future requires monitoring studies of the ...

The influence of particle morphology on the long-term strength of sandy soil under freeze-thaw cycles

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
Freeze-thaw weathering can fragment sand and gravel materials, altering their mechanical properties. This study aims to simulate the effects of freeze-thaw weathering by subjecting sand and gravel materials to cycling tests.

Permafrost-Landscape Map of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) on a Scale 1:1,500,000

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
The history of permafrost landscape map compilation is related to the study of ecological problems with permafrost. Permafrost-landscape studies are now widely used in geocryological mapping. Permafrost-landscape classifications and mapping are necessary

Thawing permafrost poses environmental threat to thousands of sites with legacy industrial contamination

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Thousands of industrial sites were found to be correlated with contaminated sites in the Arctic. Between 13,000 and 20,000 contaminated sites are likely to exist in the permafrost region, 26% of which will be affected by permafrost thaw before 2100.

Imaging permafrost [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Last October, when Susan Hubbard and her team pulled sleds full of sensitive sensors across the snow near the northernmost point in Alaska, temperatures hovered in the single digits and low teens (e.g., 8–15 °F). Foremost in the researchers’ minds, aside from collecting data on the frozen ground beneath their feet, were two things: keep an eye out for ...

Heavy and Light Mineral Association of Late Quaternary Permafrost Deposits in Northeastern Siberia

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
We studied heavy and light mineral associations from two grain-size fractions (63–125 μm, 125–250 µm) from 18 permafrost sites in the northern Siberian Arctic in order to differentiate local versus regional source areas of permafrost aggradation on the ...

Road foundation thawing at change in Ice content along the active layer depth [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
The seasonal temperature and humidity regime of the road foundation in the active layer of soil largely determines the reliability and safety of the automobile road use.
