  • Food Storage in Permafrost and Seasonally Frozen Ground in Chukotka and Alaska Communities

    Open AccessKojiro Yoshikawa, Alexey A Maslakov et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2022

    Food cellars, otherwise referred to as ice or meat cellars, (lednik in Russian, k’aetyran in Chukchi, siġļuaq in Iñupiaq, and siqlugaq in Yupik) are a natural form of refrigeration in permafrost or seasonally frozen ground used to preserve, age, and ferment foods harvested for subsistence, including marine mammals, birds, fish, and plants. Indigenous peoples throughout the Arctic have constructed cellars in frozen ground for millennia. This paper…

  • 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…

  • Traditional Iñupiat Ice Cellars (SIĠḷUAQ) in Barrow, Alaska

    Open AccessKelsey E Nyland, Anna E Klene et al.ARTICLEGeographical Review2017Cited by: 4References: 14

    Ice cellars are a natural form of refrigeration constructed within permafrost. They are traditionally employed by indigenous Arctic peoples to store harvested wildlife. Recent reports from Alaska indicate that ice cellars are "failing" through mechanisms that include flooding and collapse, which are often attributed to climate change. In cooperation with local stakeholders, we instrumented five cellars to record internal air temperature in Barrow…

  • Permafrost age and thickness near Adventfjorden, Spitsbergen 1

    Koichiro Harada, Kojiro YoshikawaARTICLEPolar Geography1996

    Two Japanese researchers explore the relationship between permafrost thickness and age in coastal areas of Spitsbergen on the basis of the temporal coincidence between time of uplift of terraces caused by isostatic rebound and the onset of permafrost development. In the process, they shed further light on the emergence history of Spitsbergen, to date largely based on data of radiocarbon dating, through the use of a different but complementary dat…

  • Pingo growth ages in the delta area, Adventdalen, Spitsbergen

    Open AccessKojiro Yoshikawa, Kenji Yoshikawa et al.ARTICLEPolar Record1996References: 3

    The open-system pingos of Spitsbergen are formed outside terminal moraines, fault zones, and delta areas. Pingos in this study area were located near the shore in active geologic uplift areas. Three open-system pingos in the Adventdalen delta area of Spitsbergen were examined. Pingos closer to shore are younger in age and those farther away are older. Growth of these pingos occurs rapidly after initial submarine uplift and a minimum thickness of …

  • Five Hundred Years of Chinese Poetry, 1150-1650

    Kojiro Yoshikawa, Yoshikawa Kojiro et al.BOOKFive Hundred Years of Chinese…1992

    Five Hundred Years of Chinese Poetry offers the only historical survey, in any language, of this important span of Chinese poetry. Written by the foremost Japanese sinologist of this century, and translated here in a lucid analogue to his famous prose style, the work provides a brief but comprehensive review of the period's literary history, a sketch of its political and social history in relation to literature, and a rendering of more than one h…

  • Man and the Concept of History in the East

    Open AccessKojiro Yoshikawa, Yoshikawa KojiroARTICLEDiogenes1963

    Of all the nations in the East, the Chinese have had and still have the keenest awareness of the function of history, influencing, to a lesser extent, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, etc.The best evidence of this is the fact that events which occurred in China have been continuously recorded by the Chinese, chronologically and with accuracy as to dates, with greater and greater precision as time went on, up to today. We know that the First Emperor of the …
