Remote Sensing of Permafrost-related Problems and Hazards
Modern remote sensing techniques can help in the assessment of permafrost hazards in high latitudes and cold mountains. Hazard development in these areas is affected by process interactions and chain reactions, the ongoing shift of cryospheric hazard zones due to atmospheric warming, the large spatial scales involved and the remoteness of many permafrost-related threats. This paper reviews grou...
متن کاملModelling of cryogenic processes in permafrost and seasonally frozen soils
This paper investigates the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of soils subjected to seasonal temperature variations in both permafrost and seasonally frozen conditions. Numerical modelling of soil freezing and ice segregation processes is presented, and compared against small-scale physical modelling experiments. The coupled THM model presented, which is solved by way of a transient finit...
متن کاملEnumeration Problems Related to Ground Horn Theories
We investigate the enumeration of varieties of boolean theories related to Horn clauses. We describe a number of combinatorial equivalences among different characterizations and calculate the number of different theories in n variables for slightly different characterizations. The method of counting is via counting models using a satisfiability checker. 1 Canonical Propositional Systems Let V b...
متن کاملBeyond frozen ground: Climate change and health.
Story by Sarah de Leeuw begin with those days of breastfeeding. But her daughters are certainly a recurring theme in her work: “A few months later when I finished off Bill McKibben’s Global Warming’s Terrifying New Math, I found myself curled up in the fetal position around my six month old. I hadn’t really realized we were on track to drastically exceed the goal of keeping climate change withi...
متن کاملFrozen Ground Monitoring Using Palsar/alos Data
Microwave remote sensing has shown proof of its effectiveness for frozen ground mapping due to the high difference of permittivity between frozen and unfrozen soil. However, the characterization of seasonal frozen ground still remains a problematic application. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched the Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) on the 24 of January 2006. This sat...
