Distinguishing ice-rich and ice-poor permafrost to map ground temperatures and ground ice occurrence in the Swiss Alps [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 Mountain permafrost is invisible, and mapping it is still a challenge. Available permafrost distribution maps often overestimate the permafrost extent and include large permafrost-free areas in their permafrost zonation.

Water security from Indigenous knowledge perspective: A scoping review
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Water security is a growing field of research in water resources management and has been increasingly examined from the perspectives of Indigenous knowledge. This study presents a scoping review that explores how Indigenous knowledge perspectives on water security are represented in the scientific literature.

Brief communication: Testing a portable Bullard-type temperature lance confirms highly spatially heterogeneous sediment temperatures under shallow bodies of water in the Arctic [PDF]
The CryosphereThe thermal regime in the sediment column below shallow bodies of water in Arctic permafrost controls benthic habitats and permafrost stability. We present a robust, portable device that measures detailed temperature–depth profiles of the near-surface ...

Disposition Model for Permafrost Degradation in Mountainous Regions
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Permafrost is a widespread thermal phenomenon in Arctic and high mountain regions that, in combination with steep terrain, exerts a key control on slope stability. Its degradation in response to climatic warming can modify the likelihood and timing of rockfall, debris flow and related mass movements. Robust information on the current state and

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.
