Prospecting and mapping of mountain permafrost and associated phenomena

Geomorphologists as well as engineering geologists are increasingly interested in the prediction and mapping of mountain permafrost and associated phenomena. Using several indirect geophysical and geomorphological methods, it is possible to detect and map permafrost that is usually invisible at the...
