Surface temperatures and their influence on the permafrost thermal regime in high-Arctic rock walls on Svalbard

<p>Permafrost degradation in steep rock walls and associated slope destabilization have been studied increasingly in recent years. While most studies focus on mountainous and sub-Arctic regions, the occurring thermo-mechanical processes also play an important role in the high Arctic. A more pr...
