This book comprises the proceedings of the conference on "Permafrost Soil and Natural Freezing" involving Commission B1 (Thermodynamics and transfer processes), with Commissions Cl and C2 of the IIR. This was the first conference on permafrost soil organized by the IIR. Specialists from 10 countries took part in this 3-day event dealing with: - freezing of dispersed media: behavior; - properties of frozen ground, measurement methods and numerous applications; - modelling of these phenomena; - effects of global warming and various types of pollution on permafrost soil; - cryological issues related to permafrost soil; - permafrost soil on Mars. The 36 papers comprising these proceedings represent the state of the art in this highly important field. Proceedings.
