Mountain permafrost on active volcanoes: Field data and statistical mapping, Klyuchevskaya Volcano group, Kamchatka, Russia
Permafrost is widespread in mountainous volcanic areas of the Kamchatka Peninsula. In this paper, we describe geocryological conditions (active layer depths, permafrost temperatures, ground thermal properties and cryostratigraphy) in the Klyuchevskaya volcano group and estimate the spatial distribut...
