Thermokarst Processes

Thermokarst Processes is a geomorphic process characterized by the irregular degradation of permafrost terrain through the collapse of the land surface following the melting of ground ice, distinguishing it from other cryospheric processes by its direct dependency on ice-wedge and massive ground ice melt dynamics in ice-rich permafrost regions.
