Inferring permafrost and permafrost thaw in the mountains of the Hindu Kush Himalaya region
The cryosphere reacts sensitively to climate change, as evidenced by the widespread retreat
of mountain glaciers. Subsurface ice contained in permafrost is similarly affected by climate …

Permafrost is warming at a global scale
Permafrost warming has the potential to amplify global climate change, because when
frozen sediments thaw it unlocks soil organic carbon. Yet to date, no globally consistent …

How much of the earth's surface is underlain by permafrost?
J Obu - Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
More than 80% of studies reporting the area on Earth underlain by permafrost refer to the
extent of the permafrost region, which accounts for around 21 million km2 (22% of the …

Short-term velocity variations at three rock glaciers and their relationship with meteorological conditions
In recent years, strong variations in the speed of rock glaciers have been detected, raising
questions about their stability under changing climatic conditions. In this study, we present …
