Improved prediction of the vertical distribution of ground ice in Arctic-Antarctic permafrost sediments

Frost susceptibility of permafrost sediments is strongly influenced by unfrozen water content, which is dependent on sediment type, soil water chemistry, and temperature, according to field observations and ensemble modeling prediction of ground ice formation in Arctic-Antarctic sediments.
