- Abstract
- Due to their proximity to melting conditions under
terrestrial conditions, mountain glaciers and permafrost
are particularly sensitive to climate changes. In fact, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recognizes
glaciers as the best terrestrial indicator of climate
change, due both to their sensitivity to climatic variations
and the clear visibility of glacier growth and shrinkage to
the public (McCarthy et al., 2001). Mountain and lowland
permafrost are similarly sensitive to climate changes
because of their strong dependency on climatic conditions
at the ground-atmosphere interface and the subsurface ice
often involved (e.g., Osterkamp and Romanovsky, 1999;
Harris et al., 2001). However, much less is known about
the response of permafrost to changes in boundary conditions
due to the wide variety of surface and ground conditions,
and the complex interplay of the processes involved.
Permafrost reacts in amuch delayed and attenuatedway to
climatic changes compared to glaciers. Thus, both glaciers
and permafrost together make up a key set of targets for
monitoring climate change and its impact on terrestrial
systems in cold regions ( (literal)
