Climate change, as revealed by gradual changes in temperature, precipitation, atmospheric
moisture, and wind intensity, as well as sea level rise and changes in the occurrence of …

Rapid atmospheric warming since the mid-twentieth century has increased temperature-
dependent erosion and sediment-transport processes in cold environments, affecting food …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Arctic coasts are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and
the loss of permafrost, sea ice and glaciers. Assessing the influence of anthropogenic …

Arctic coastal erosion damages infrastructure, threatens coastal communities and releases
organic carbon from permafrost. However, the magnitude, timing and sensitivity of coastal …

Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) have become a dominant geomorphic event in
permafrost regions due to the modern climate change. However, the roles of topographic …

Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS)–landslides caused by the melt of ground ice in permafrost–
have become more common in the Arctic, but the timing of this recent increase and its links …

Dramatic environmental shifts are occuring throughout the Arctic from climate change, with
consequences for the cycling of mercury (Hg). This review summarizes the latest science on …

The Periglacial Environment, Fourth Edition, is an authoritative overview of the world's cold,
non-glacial environments. First published in 1976 and subsequently revised in 1996 and …

The 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 …
