At a subalpine site with permafrost below the timberline in the eastern Swiss Alps the complex interrelationship between different environmental factors was investigated by applying an integrated approach that combines soil mapping, 3D near-surface geophysics and surface and subsurface temperature monitoring. The objectives of this approach were to explore the 3D extension of isolated permafrost bodies...
Purpose The present work focuses on cold alpine soils of the Altai Mountains (Siberia, Russia). Permafrost is widespread and often occurs at a depth of about 100 cm. The area is characterised by extremely cold winters and cool summers: the aim was consequently to find out whether weathering could be more intense on thermally less unfavoured conditions or whether the abundance of water could be a more...
