Multi-platform remote sensing using space-, airborne and ground-based sensors has
become essential tools for landslide assessment and disaster-risk prevention. Over the last …

Amplification of global warming in Arctic and boreal regions is causing significant changes
to permafrost‐affected landscapes. The nature and extent of the change is complicated by …

Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS)–landslides caused by the melt of ground ice in permafrost–
have become more common in the Arctic, but the timing of this recent increase and its links …

The term thermokarst describes the processes and landforms that involve collapse of the
land surface as a result of the melting of ground ice. We review the literature that has …

As high latitudes warm, a portion of the large organic carbon pool stored in permafrost will
become available for transport to aquatic ecosystems as dissolved organic carbon (DOC). If …

It is anticipated that an increase in rainfall will have significant impacts on the
geomorphology of permafrost landscapes. Field observations, remote sensing and historical …

Thaw slump activity has recently increased in permafrost areas of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
(QTP). Thaw slumps may influence the stability of infrastructure and impact global …

Release of greenhouse gases from thawing permafrost is potentially the largest terrestrial
feedback to climate change and one of the most likely to occur; however, estimates of its …

Ice‐cored permafrost landscapes are highly sensitive to disturbance and have the potential
to undergo dramatic geomorphic transformations in response to climate change. The …

Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of thermokarst, but the influences
of regional climate and physiography remain poorly understood. Retrogressive thaw …
