The Frozen Earth: Fundamentals of Geocryology
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of cold climates on the surface of the earth were described using scientific principles, and the evolution of ground thermal conditions and the origin of natural features such as frost heave, solifluction, slope instabilities, patterned ground, pingos and ice wedges.

Journal ArticleDOI
Climate and the limits of permafrost: a zonal analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined the climatic and environmental conditions that determine the limits and continuity of permafrost occurrence, in the Canadian context, and analyzed these effects by calculating offset and TTOP values using Canadian climate station data for air temperature and snowfall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Permafrost monitoring and detection of climate change
TL;DR: In this article, a functional model of the permafrost-climate relationship is presented, which accommodates the geographical variations of climatic, surface and soil factors that control ground thermal regime.
