Using Temperature Sensors to Track the Thaw and Erosion Fronts in an Experimental Permafrost Riverbank
PHYSICAL LANDSCAPE SIGNATURES OF CONTEMPORARY CLIMATE CHANGE II POSTER
earth and planetary surface processes | 17 december 2021
Maria Schmeer, Madison Douglas, Kimberly L. Miller...
As Artic rivers warm, more heat is available to thaw permafrost, which can destabilize riverbanks and affect Arctic riverside communities. The thermal...
