Cryogenic landslides on the Yamal Peninsula, Russia: Preliminary observations

Certain processes occurring in the northern part of the permafrost zone pose hazards for construction. These include cryogenic landslides. Three types are discussed for the Yamal Peninsula: shearing slides (active layer detachment failures), ground ice slumps, and earth flows. The first prevail in s...
