This research will quantify the nature and extent of ice-wedge degradation, evaluate the feedbacks controlling the dynamics of degradation and stabilization, and assess the consequences of the degradation to arctic ecosystems. Massive ice in the form of ice wedges occupies 10?70% of near- surface pe...
