At Eielson Air Force Base, military engineers must contend with a problem lurking beneath the ground: permafrost thaw. At Eielson Air Force Base, military engineers must contend with a problem lurking ...

“Our climate trajectory is likely going to make talik formation an important driver of permafrost degradation in the discontinuous permafrost zone and eventually, as temperatures continue to warm, in ...

Permafrost, the ground below the freezing point of water 0 º for two or more years, is an element of the cryosphere which has not been as much studied as other soils like glaciers or marine ice, ...

Pipeline heave in cold environments is influenced by the transition zone between permafrost zone (frozen soil) and nonpermafrost zone (unfrozen soil) as well as the heaving behavior of the unfrozen ...

Permafrost thaw lakes occur in high abundance across the subarctic landscape but little is known about their limnological dynamics. This study was undertaken to evaluate the hourly, seasonal, and ...

More areas of year-round unfrozen ground have begun dotting Interior and Northwest Alaska and will continue to increase in extent due to climate change, according to new research. More areas of ...
