Permafrost temperatures have increased in polar and high-elevation regions, affecting the
climate system and the integrity of natural and built environments. In this Review, we outline …

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 cryosphere (including, snow, glaciers, permafrost, lake and river ice) is an integral
element of high mountain regions, which are home to roughly 10% of the global population …

Permafrost warming has the potential to amplify global climate change, because when
frozen sediments thaw it unlocks soil organic carbon. Yet to date, no globally consistent …

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 …

The permafrost monitoring network in the polar regions of the Northern Hemisphere was
enhanced during the International Polar Year (IPY), and new information on permafrost …

In this paper we summarize recent research in geocryological studies carried out on the
Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau that show responses of permafrost to climate change and their …

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 …

This paper reviews and analyses the past 20 years of change and variability of European
mountain permafrost in response to climate change based on time series of ground …

The active layer over permafrost plays a significant role in surface energy balance,
hydrologic cycle, carbon fluxes, ecosystem, and landscape processes and on the human …
