The Periglacial Environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the periglacial domain and discuss the effects of permafrost on the global climate and its evolution. But they do not consider the effects on the local environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the amount and distribution of ice within sediment and rock are termed as "cryostructures" and structures formed by these structures are termed "cryofacies".

Cryostructures in permafrost, Tuktoyaktuk coastlands, western arctic Canada
Julian B. Murton,Hugh M. French +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the shape and distribution of ice and sediment within frozen ground constitute its cryostructure, and six different types of cryostructures can be identified: (1) structureless, (2) lenticular, (3) layered, (4) reticulate, (5) crustal, and (6) suspended.
