As climate change leads to rising temperatures, the stability of structures built on permafrost is increasingly at risk due to the thawing of this frozen ground. Recent research has focused on ...

But instead of liquid water, all he found was frozen ground. Shergin gave up at a depth of 15 meters. A while later, scientists became interested and persuaded Shergin to keep digging. After ten years ...

“It’s fast and dramatic, affecting landscapes in unprecedented ways,” Turetsky said. Permafrost, a perpetually frozen layer under the ground surface, contains rocks, soil, sand and, in some cases, ...

The designers determined that they pipe could be buried in three types of ground: permanently thawed soils, bedrock, and some areas of permafrost which, when thawed, were considered unlikely to ...

Permafrost — the permanently frozen ground that underlies much of the Arctic land surface — is thawing in many parts of the Arctic. [1] As permafrost thaws, it releases the powerful greenhouse gas ...

Researchers emphasize the need to investigate how permafrost degradation and the melting of ground ice contribute to streamflow in mountainous areas, as these processes are often overlooked ...

After ten years, the mine had reached its present depth of 116 meters, and Yakutsk became known as the cradle of permafrost science. Permanently frozen ground, or permafrost, is a relic of the ...

The discovery represents what may be the oldest glacier ice ever found buried in permafrost — ground that has been frozen for at least 2 years straight — in the Arctic, researchers report in ...

with about one-third of the state consisting of continuous permafrost, where the ground is frozen year-round. "The Arctic and boreal regions are made up of diverse ecosystems, and this study ...

Like cities and towns across northern and north-eastern Russia, Churapcha is suffering the consequence of climate change thawing the permafrost on which everything is built. This is a Russian ...
