  • High potential for loss of permafrost landforms in a changing climate

    Open AccessOlli Karjalainen, Miska Luoto et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    The presence of ground ice in Arctic soils exerts a major effect on permafrost hydrology and ecology, and factors prominently into geomorphic landform development. As most ground ice has accumulated in near-surface permafrost, it is sensitive to variations in atmospheric conditions. Typical and regionally widespread permafrost landforms such as pingos, ice-wedge polygons, and rock glaciers are closely tied to ground ice. However, under ongoing cl…

  • Twenty years of European mountain permafrost dynamics—the Pace legacy

    Open AccessBernd Etzelmüller, Mauro Guglielmin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    This paper reviews and analyses the past 20 years of change and variability of European mountain permafrost in response to climate change based on time series of ground temperatures along a south-north transect of deep boreholes from Sierra Nevada in Spain (37 N) to Svalbard (78 N), established between 1998 and 2000 during the EU-funded PACE (Permafrost and Climate in Europe) project. In Sierra Nevada (at the Veleta Peak), no permafrost is encoun…

  • Permafrost is warming at a global scale

    Open AccessBoris K Biskaborn, Sharon L Smith et al.ARTICLENature Communications2019

    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 assessment of permafrost temperature change has been compiled. Here we use a global data set of permafrost temperature time series from the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost to evaluate temperature change across permafrost regions for the period since the Internationa…

  • Holocene development of subarctic permafrost peatlands in Finnmark, northern Norway

    Open AccessSofia E Kjellman, Pia E Axelsson et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Cited by: 2References: 12

    Subarctic permafrost peatlands are important soil organic carbon pools, and improved knowledge about peat properties and peatland sensitivity to past climate change is essential when predicting future response to a warmer climate and associated feedback mechanisms. In this study, Holocene peatland development and permafrost dynamics of four subarctic peat plateaus in Finnmark, northern Norway have been investigated through detailed analyses of pl…

  • Multiple rock-slope failures from Mannen in Romsdal Valley, western Norway, revealed from Quaternary geological mapping and 10 Be exposure dating

    Open AccessPaula Hilger, Reginald L Hermanns et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Cited by: 2References: 10

    Oversteepened valley walls in western Norway have high recurrences of Holocene rock-slope failure activity causing significant risk to communities and infrastructure. Deposits from six to nine catastrophic rock-slope failure (CRSF) events are preserved at the base of the Mannen rock-slope instability in the Romsdal Valley, western Norway. The timing of these CRSF events was determined by terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide dating and relative chronolo…

  • Holocene development and geomorphic processes at Omnsbreen, southern Norway

    Open AccessKarianne Staalesen Lilleøren, Ole Humlum et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2013References: 8

    Omnsbreen is a small (<0.5 km 2 ) and degrading glacier situated at the regional lower limit of present-day permafrost distribution and glaciation. At present, the existence of Omnsbreen is mainly dependent on wind-borne snow redistributed by the prevailing westerly winter-wind, and lies in an area of marginal permafrost occurrence. During the ‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) both the glacier and the distribution of permafrost in the area reached their max…

  • The concept of cryo-conditioning in landscape evolution — Response to comments by Wojciech Dobinski

  • The concept of cryo-conditioning in landscape evolution

    Open AccessIvar Berthling, Bernd EtzelmüllerARTICLEQuaternary Research2011

    Recent accounts suggest that periglacial processes are unimportant for large-scale landscape evolution and that true large-scale periglacial landscapes are rare or non-existent. The lack of a large-scale topographical fingerprint due to periglacial processes may be considered of little relevance, as linear process–landscape development relationships rarely can be substantiated. Instead, periglacial landscapes may be classified in terms of specifi…
