Thermal conditions in permafrost: a review of North American literature

This review of published information on thermal conditions in permafrost covers, primarily, the ten year period between the 1st International Permafrost Conference held in 1963, and the 2nd, held in Yakutsk, U.S.S.R., in 1973. The subject is covered in two parts - "The Surface Boundary Conditio...
