Geospatial Analysis of Road Conditions and Hazardous Factors in Communities on Continuous vs. Sporadic Permafrost in Greenland
Road conditions and hazardous factors were surveyed in two permafrost-affected communities of West Greenland, Ilulissat (underlain by continuous ice-rich permafrost) and Sisimiut (underlain by sporadic permafrost). Pavement damages, repairs, embankment structural elements, artificial drainage system...
