This study by <a href=\"https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/people\/hosein-fereydooni\/\">Hosein Fereydooni<\/a> examines the dielectric properties of ground ice as a unique fingerprint. Field measurements were taken at two Yukon permafrost sites: a retrogressive thaw slump and a pingo. Comparing these with electrical resistivity and impedance results, he found relaxation time is a more reliable indicator for ground ice detection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.12-PM-1024x364.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.12-PM-1024x364.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.12-PM-300x107.jpg 300w, https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.12-PM-768x273.jpg 768w, https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.12-PM-18x6.jpg 18w, https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.12-PM.jpg 1310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>(a) The retrogressive thaw slump, headwall, (b) long and (c) short SIP survey.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosein&#8217;s team developed a method to quantify relaxation time from Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP) data measured by the FUCHS III device. The method\u2019s effectiveness was demonstrated through synthetic data and two field surveys. SIP field measurements, ranging from 1.46 Hz to 40 kHz, were conducted on a retrogressive thaw slump and a pingo in Yukon, Canada. The extracted relaxation times were mapped to pseudo-depths obtained from single-frequency inversion. This study proposes a relaxation time range from 10 to 400 \u03bcs for ground ice, and the results demonstrate that this range can detect ground ice spectra in field studies. Comparison with observations in a borehole and an exposure of permafrost indicate that relaxation time is less ambiguous in detecting ground ice in warm permafrost than conventional methods such as electrical resistivity tomography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"386\" src=\"https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.22-PM-1024x386.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8923\" style=\"width:1024px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.22-PM-1024x386.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.22-PM-300x113.jpg 300w, https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.22-PM-768x290.jpg 768w, https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.22-PM-18x7.jpg 18w, https:\/\/permafrostnet.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-24-at-4.28.22-PM.jpg 1310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>(a) The pingo site and (b) the survey line with the FUCHS device.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fereydooni, H., Gruber, S., Stillman, D., and Cronmiller, D.: <strong>Detecting ground ice in warm permafrost with the dielectric relaxation time from SIP observations<\/strong>, <em>EGUsphere [preprint]<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5194\/egusphere-2025-1801,\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5194\/egusphere-2025-1801,<\/a> 2025.<span style=\"white-space-collapse: collapse; font-size: 9pt; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; color: rgb(70, 70, 70);\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium; white-space-collapse: collapse;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:44px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detecting ground ice in permafrost is crucial for climate research and infrastructure, but traditional methods often struggle to distinguish it.
