Molards and Their Relation to Landslides Involving Permafrost Failure
(Wiley, 2015-09)
Molards are conical shaped, often-symmetrical, debris mounds with a distinctive radial grain-size gradation, which were first-named in the Alps over 100 years ago. Historically these features did not receive much academic ...
Current thermal state of permafrost in the southern Peruvian Andes and potential impact from El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
(John WileyUS, 2020-05)
Tropical high‐mountain permafrost has a unique thermal regime due to its exposure to strong solar radiation and to rough surface snow morphology, which reduce ground heat transfer from the surface. Latent heat transfer and ...
Reconocimiento de Permafrost Andino en las nacientes del río Santa María, CatamarcaAndean Permafrost Survey in the High Santa Maria River, Catamarca
(Universidad Nacional de Catamarca. Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, 2010-04)
El incremento de las temperaturas globales pone en peligro las fuentes de agua dulce continentales en forma de hielo o permafrost. Las regiones áridas o semiáridas de los Andes Centrales manifiestan mayor labilidad a estos ...
Taxonomia, diversidade e estudo da virulência de fungos provenientes do permafrost da Antártica
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisBrasilICB - DEPARTAMENTO DE MICROBIOLOGIAPrograma de Pós-Graduação em MicrobiologiaUFMG, 2020-11-26)
Antarctica differs from the rest of the continents for its uniqueness of habitats, characterized mainly by extreme environmental conditions such as low temperature and availability of water and nutrients, strong winds, ...
Permafrost in den argentinischen Anden, ein bedeutender Wasserspeicher
(Westermann, 2018-10)
Die semi-ariden Zentralanden Argentiniens werden durch eine weitfl ächige erbreitung von Permafrost und eine große vertikale Erstreckung von periglazialen Formen und Prozessen charakterisiert. Große Blockgletscherkomplexe ...
Diurnal and seasonal active layer and permafrost dynamics from boreholes of the Latin American permafrost network
(Antarctic, Arctic and Alpine Environment, 2023)
Permafrost is present in the high-altitude mountains of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt as well as the Andes, even in the extreme dry Atacama highland. The permafrost and active layer termal state are characterized at Latin ...
Late Quaternary Permafrost Distributions Downscaled for South America: Examinations of GCM-based Maps with Observations
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2016-01)
High-resolution maps of potential frozen ground distribution in South America have been produced for the present day (0ka) and the Last Glacial Maximum (21ka). Surface air temperature outputs from global climate models ...
Survey of cryogenic processes, periglacial forms and permafrost conditions in South AmericaSurvey of cryogenic processes, periglacial forms and permafrost conditions in South America
(Instituto Geológico, Secretaria do Meio Ambiente, São Paulo, 2000)
Toward the detection of permafrost using land-surface temperature mapping
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2020-02)
Permafrost is degrading under current warming conditions, disrupting infrastructure, releasing carbon from soils, and altering seasonal water availability. Therefore, it is important to quantitatively map the change in the ...
Permafrost evolution in a mountain catchment near Santiago de Chile
(2021)
The Chilean Central Andes near Santiago are a semi-arid region with substantial frozen water reserves in their high altitude cryosphere. Millions of people depend on the Andean cryosphere for freshwater supply. Over the ...
