    Seminar – 4 June – Proglacial Retrogressive Thaw Slumping, Svalbard.

    Zoom

    Date: Wednesday 4th June 2025Time: 1pm Eastern Time / 11am Mountain Time Liam Carson will be presenting Proglacial Retrogressive Thaw Slumping, Svalbard. The Arctic is warming rapidly, driving cryospheric changes like glacial retreat and permafrost thaw that transform proglacial landscapes. This study examines ice-cored moraine dynamics in Scott Turnerbreen (STB) and Longyearbreen Read more

  • A diagram showing hierarchical layers of permafrost terrain: soil, micro-topography, vegetation, hydrology, geomorphology, glacial legacy, and climate, illustrated with circles and a landscape drawing, labeled by scale.
