Variability of temperature and thickness of permafrost active layer at coastal sites of Svalbard
Abstract We present the variability of the thermal state and thickness of permafrost active layer at the raised marine beaches in Svalbard. The investigations were carried out using direct probing, thaw tube, ground temperature and radar soundings at Holocene strand plains 10-20 m a.s.l. in Fugleber...
