Advances in Thermokarst Research

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2013
ABSTRACTThe term thermokarst describes the processes and landforms that involve collapse of the land surface as a result of the melting of ground ice. We review the literature that has contributed to our understanding of patterns, processes and feedbacks, and the environmental consequences of thermokarst, focusing on hillslope, thaw lake and wetland ...

Global Warming and Thermokarst

open access: yes, 2008
Thermokarst denotes the processes, landforms and sediments associated with ablation usually by thawing of excess ice in permafrost. Thaw has two important geomorphic consequences: (1) a reduction in soil strength due to the change to an unfrozen state ...

Spatial Distribution of Thermokarst Terrain in Arctic Alaska

open access: yesGeomorphology, 2016
In landscapes underlain by ice-rich permafrost, the development of thermokarst landforms can have drastic impacts on ecosystem processes and human infrastructure.

Thermokarst Sediments and Sedimentary Structures, Tuktoyaktuk Coastlands, Western Arctic Canada

open access: yesGlobal and Planetary Change, 2001
Abrupt climate warming during glacial–interglacial transitions promotes regional thermokarst activity in areas of ice-rich permafrost. The ensuing thaw-related processes of melt-out, soft-sediment deformation and resedimentation may produce widespread ...
