Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 1971 Permafrost, or perennially frozen ground, occurs widely throughout the northern half of Canada. Experience has shown that special design and construction techniques are required for building on permafrost in order to avoid disturbing the delicate thermal balance that preserves the frozen ground.

Mapping Mountain Permafrost Landscapes in Siberia Using Landsat Thermal Imagery
Geosciences, 2018 Intensive development of South Yakutia, a mountainous area in the Russian sporadic permafrost zone, must be founded on knowledge about regional permafrost conditions. New permafrost maps for mountainous areas in South Yakutia (the Elkon Mountains and the

Estimation of stream water components and residence time in a permafrost catchment in the central Tibetan Plateau using long-term water stable isotopic data [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 Global warming has significantly impacted the hydrological processes and ecological environment in permafrost regions. Mean residence time (MRT) is a fundamental catchment descriptor that provides hydrological information regarding storage, flow pathways,

Effect of Methane Mitigation on Global Temperature under a Permafrost Feedback [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Earth systems may fall into an undesirable system state if 1.5 degrees celsius (C) of warming is exceeded. Carbon release from substantial permafrost stocks vulnerable to near-term warming represents a positive climate feedback that may increase the risk of 1.5 C warming or greater.

Comparison of Algorithms and Parameterisations for Infiltration into Organic-Covered Permafrost Soils [PDF]
, 2010 Infiltration into frozen and unfrozen soils is critical in hydrology, controlling active layer soil water dynamics and influencing runoff. Few Land Surface Models (LSMs) and Hydrological Models (HMs) have been developed, adapted or tested for frozen ...

Host-linked soil viral ecology along a permafrost thaw gradient
Nature Microbiology, 2018 Climate change threatens to release abundant carbon that is sequestered at high latitudes, but the constraints on microbial metabolisms that mediate the release of methane and carbon dioxide are poorly understood1–7.

A synthesis dataset of permafrost thermal state for the Qinghai–Tibet (Xizang) Plateau, China
, 2021 . Permafrost has great influences on the climatic, hydrological, and ecological systems on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). The changing permafrost and its impact have been attracting great attention worldwide like never before.

Plant uptake of CO2 outpaces losses from permafrost and plant respiration on the Tibetan Plateau
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021 Significance Cold regions contain vast stores of permafrost carbon. Rapid warming will cause permafrost to thaw and plant respiration to accelerate, with a resultant loss of CO2, but could also increase the fixation of CO2 by plants. A network of 32 eddy

Permafrost - An Alternative Target Material for Ultra High Energy Neutrino Detection? [PDF]
Nucl.Instrum.Meth.A587:29-34,2008, 2007 The detection of cosmic neutrinos with energies above 1017 eV got growing interest during recent years. Possible target materials for in-matter arrays of ~100 km3 size under discussion are water, ice and rock salt. Here we propose to investigate permafrost as an additional alternative, covering ~20% of Earth land surface and reaching down to more than ...

Climate and Permafrost Shifts in Yakutia’s Arctic and Subarctic from 1965 to 2023
LandBy analyzing the last 50–60 years of climate changes in Arctic and Subarctic Yakutia, we have identified three distinct periods of climate development.
