Seismic emissions and frostquakes: mechanisms of thermal stress release during seasonal freezing and melting of soft soils in subarctic areas

In this study the analysis of continuous seismic data is used to investigate the processes related to seismic events generated through the release of accumulated thermal stresses in the upper water-saturated soils during freezing and melting. Under certain conditions, the stresses are released as a...
