TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the changing state of European permafrost within a spatial zone that includes the continuous high latitude arctic permfrost of Svalbard and the discontinuous high altitude mountain permaffrost of Iceland, Fennoscandia and the Alps.

TL;DR: In this article, a review paper examines thermal conditions (active layer and permafrost), internal composition (rock and ice components), kinematics and rheology of creeping perennially frozen slopes in cold mountain areas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the scaling laws and similitude conditions of geotechnical centrifuge models were investigated. But only a few studies were devoted to the questions and concerns about scaling laws.

TL;DR: In this article, the deformation of active rock glaciers in the Swiss Alps has been studied using borehole deformation measurements of three sites in the Alps, and it was shown that despite different internal structures, similar phenomena can be observed, and a reduction in volume can be caused by compressive flow due to the presence of air voids within permafrost.

TL;DR: In this paper, a field test on a geosynthetic reinforced unpaved road was carried out, including compaction and trafficking, to investigate the bearing capacity and its performance on a soft subgrade.
