Freeze-thaw weathering is an important surface process and the complex underlying
processes can be understood as an interplay between rock properties and its dynamic …

The surface of ice exhibits the swath of phase-transition phenomena common to all
materials and as such it acts as an ideal test bed of both theory and experiment. It is readily …

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 …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Catastrophic collapse of large rock slopes ranks as one of the most hazardous natural
phenomena in mountain landscapes. The cascade of events, from rock-slope failure, to rock …

In this paper, we develop a mechanical model that relates the destabilization of thawing
permafrost rock slopes to temperature‐related effects on both, rock‐and ice‐mechanics; and …

Glaciation and deglaciation, along with their associated climatic and non-climatic processes,
modify slope stresses and influence slope stability. Paraglacial slope failures are those that …

摘要为探讨寒区裂隙岩体含冰裂隙在冻融循环作用下的冻胀力演化规律, 进而揭示疲劳冻融对岩
体结构劣化的影响机制, 采用自行设计的8 通道冻胀力实时监测系统开展了不同岩性 …

This paper reviews frost‐weathering studies in the last five years and proposes key
questions to be answered. New techniques have enabled us to monitor moisture contents …

In mountainous landscapes the role of periglacial processes in producing sediment is poorly
defined, despite evidence of abundant talus slopes. Ice growth in rock has long been …
