Cold shores in warming times – current state and future challenges in High Arctic coastal geomorphological studies
Many of the existing intellectual paradigms regarding the functioning of the polar coastal zone are now out-dated, based on descriptive geomorphology and a limited process-based understanding. Currently, among many components of Arctic landscape adjusting to global warming, the coastal zone is proba...
