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...

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 surface. This paper summarizes the merits of the most frequently used methods, their difficulties and limitations, and gives recommendations on how to use them. Brief recommendations for future research are also given. Les geomorphologues, tout autant que les scientifiques travaillant en géologie appliquée, sont incroyablement intéressés dans la prédiction et la cartographie du pergélisol de montagne et des phénomènes associés. En utilisant plusieurs méthodes indirectes, géophysiques et géomorphologiques, il est possible de détecter et de cartographier le pergélisol qui est habituellement invisible à la surface. Le présent article résume les avantages des méthodes les plus souvent utilisées, montre leurs difficultés et leurs limites, et indique comment elles doivent ětre utilisées. De brèves recommandations sont données pour orienter des recherches futures. |
