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 …

This paper provides a review of permafrost modelling advances, primarily since the 2003
permafrost conference in Zürich, Switzerland, with an emphasis on spatial permafrost …

This paper provides a snapshot of the permafrost thermal state in the Nordic area obtained
during the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2009. Several intensive research campaigns …

Since its introduction, the definition of permafrost has rarely been discussed or reviewed.
Recent decades have brought a series of significant, often interdisciplinary works on a …

Whether rock glaciers are permafrost creep features or may also be related to glaciers in
non-permafrost environments, and whether they should be defined by genesis or …

An overview is given of the relatively short history, important issues and primary challenges
of research on permafrost in cold mountain regions. The systematic application of diverse …

A research‐based understanding of permafrost distribution at a sufficient spatial resolution is
important to meet the demands of science, education and society. We present a new …

We present a regional inventory of rock glaciers (n= 1514) and protalus ramparts (228) for
the Lombardy region, central Italian Alps. To identify and classify the landforms we inspect …

Permafrost is a key element of the terrestrial cryosphere which makes mapping and
monitoring of its state variables an imperative task. We present a modeling scheme based …

The interaction between glaciers and permafrost was long ago addressed for glaciers in
Arctic regions. Analogies from modern environments have been used to understand …
