Schematic overview of a typical terrestrial and shallow-marine permafrost landscape during summer and winter
Abstract Schematic overview of a typical terrestrial and shallow-marine permafrost landscape during summer and winter. Permafrost is defined as ground that remains continuously at or below 0°C for at least two consecutive years; some 24% of the land surface in the northern hemisphere is classified a...
