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 artificial ground freezing (AGF) is one of the most popular ground-support methods.
Driven by its reliability, compatibility with a wide range of ground types, and low impact on …

We present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that
includes the continuous high latitude arctic permafrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous …

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 …

Permafrost in steep bedrock is abundant in many cold‐mountain areas, and its degradation
can cause slope instability that is unexpected and unprecedented in location, magnitude …

Class 1 hydrate deposits are characterized by a hydrate-bearing layer underlain by a two-
phase zone involving mobile gas. Two kinds of deposits are investigated. The first involves …

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 …

When subjected to a uniform cooling below the freezing point a water-infiltrated porous
material undergoes a cryo-deformation resulting from various combined actions:(i) the …

Frost heave in coarse-grained soils caused by vapour transfer has attracted much attention,
but little experimental or numerical evidence has been reported thus far. A series of …

New impact craters at five sites in the martian mid-latitudes excavated material from depths
of decimeters that has a brightness and color indicative of water ice. Near-infrared spectra of …
