Permafrost Thaw

Permafrost Thaw is a cryospheric process in which perennially frozen ground (permafrost) warms to the melting point and undergoes a phase change from ice-rich frozen conditions to seasonally or permanently unfrozen soil, sediment, or rock, thereby altering ground thermal, hydrological, and mechanical properties.
