Toward a Permafrost Vulnerability Index for Critical Infrastructure, Community Resilience and National Security

There has been a growth in the number of composite indicator tools used to assess community risk, vulnerability, and resilience, to assist study and policy planning. However, existing research shows that these composite indicators vary extensively in method, selected variables, aggregation methods,...
