Abstract. Holocene periods of enhanced solifluction offer new paleoclimatic information. Long-term observations of present solifluction variability and process studies on movement mechanisms, as well as model simulations of the soil heat and water regimes, show the dependence of solifluction on ground freezing. The annual variability of both processes is strongly controlled by weather and resulting snow conditions immediately before and at the beginning of the winter frost period. Simulated long-term variations during different paleoclimatic scenarios are regulated by both mean preeipitation and temperature changes. Quantitative reconstruetion of Holocene preeipitation during maximum altitudinal depression of solifluction is shown.

Abstract:
This article investigates the usage of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) point clouds for monitoring the gradual movements of soil masses due to freeze–thaw activity and water saturation, commonly referred to as solifluction. Solifluction is a geomorphic process which is characteristic for hillslopes in (high-)mountain areas, primarily alpine periglacial areas and the arctic. The movement can reach millimetre-to-centimetre per year velocities, remaining well below the typical displacement mangitudes of other frequently monitored natural objects, such as landslides and glaciers. Hence, a better understanding of solifluction processes requires increased spatial and temporal resolution with relatively high measurement accuracy. To that end, we developed a workflow for TLS point cloud processing, providing a 3D vector field that can capture soil mass displacement due to solifluction with high fidelity. This is based on the common image-processing techniques of feature detection and tracking. The developed workflow is tested on a study area placed in Hohe Tauern range of the Austrian Alps with a prominent assemblage of solifluction lobes. The derived displacements were compared with the established geomonitoring approach with total station and signalized markers and point cloud deformation monitoring approaches. The comparison indicated that the achieved results were in the same accuracy range as the established methods, with an advantage of notably higher spatial resolution. This improvement allowed for new insights considering the solifluction processes.

Abstract:
Repeated freeze–thaw cycles on slopes trigger sorting and solifluction mass movements, while subsequent displacement of material modifies the geomorphology of slopes as well as permafrost dynamics. This study focuses on the geomorphology and the cryostratigraphy of a polar desert stone-banked solifluction lobe with the objective to clarify the impact of slow mass movements on ground ice aggradation. The morphology of the solifluction lobe was characterized by peripheral ridges of coarse gravel, partially surrounding a depression filled with finer sediments saturated with water and covered by organics. Cryostratigraphic analysis demonstrated that the solifluction lobe’s formation led to the development of a syngenetic layer of permafrost with an ice content that varied according to the location in the lobe. The ice-rich cryofacies formed in the central depression of the lobe should act as a buffer to potential active layer deepening, slowing down its thawing, whereas the ice-poor cryofacies formed under the ridges is expected to thaw faster than the central depression under climate warming scenarios. Thawing of the ice-rich zone in the future will result in differential thaw subsidence between the ridges and the central depression of solifluction lobes, along with increased drainage through the ridges and subsequent changes in hydrology.

Abstract:
AbstractA clayey solifluction deposit of Devensian age on the lower slopes of a broad valley in Namurian mudstone is about 1.2 m thick and near its base are shear surfaces, gently undulating and occupying on average 40% of the length (56 m) examined in trial pits. Within a shear zone up to 2 mm in thickness the clay mineral aggregates are aligned sub-parallel to the shear surface; otherwise the aggregates are in random orientation. Tests show that strength on the shear surface falls to the residual value (c′ = 0, φr′ = 12°) after small displacements. The resultant peak strength parameters of the deposit, allowing for the undulating and discontinuous nature of the shears, are c′ = 6 kPa and φ′ = 18°; as compared to c′ = 10 kPa and φ′ = 20° for the intact clay. Average index properties are w = 40, LL = 75, PL = 32 and clay fraction = 62%.

Abstract:
The Middle Palaeolithic site Proniatyn is geomorphologically located on the near-watershed slope of the right bank of the Seret River. The history of its archaeological research began in 1977. During numerous expedition seasons of works conducted with using of methods of natural sciences and archaeology (until 2015), rich flint material was found on the site, which was located in the deposits of the over-Horokhiv deluvial solifluction stratum, i.e. not in situ, but was moved down the slope. The upper chronological limit of the cultural horizon was determined as 85±7 ka (according to V. Shovkoplias) by TL-dating of the Upper Pleistocene loess, which overlaps the over-Horokhiv deluvial solifluction stratum. In 2015, the Proniatyn site became the subject of scientific excursion of the international loess seminar «Loesses and Palaeolithic of Podillia». To clarify the age of the site, survey pit 5, located directly next to the main excavation, in the southern part of the site was expanded and deepened. The main goal of the work was to search for artifacts in the Horokhiv fossil pedocomplex (MIS 5), which is only slightly disturbed by deluvial-solifluctional processes. Two artifacts were found in the eluvial horizon of this complex, the third one was found in its humus horizon. Detailed analysis of the finds shows that the additional flint artifacts discovered in 2015 do not contradict the conclusion that technical, morphological and typological features of these three flints are completely identical to several thousand previously excavated flints from this site and represent the flake-blade Levallois industry. In general, all discovered artifacts from Proniatyn form a single monocultural complex of the site. Based on research conducted in 2015 is clearly established that the age of Proniatyn cultural horizon does not correspond to the age of deluvial-solifluctional strata, as previously thought, but is older than it. It is associated with the eluvial horizon of the Horokhiv fossil soil complex, the age of which is estimated at 112,0±11,2 ka and 106,7±11 ka according to TL-dating (the Palaeolithic site Yezupil I), 110±18 ka according to TL-dating and 102±16 ka according to OSL-dating (Palaeolithic site Mariampil I). Key words: Middle Palaeolithic, artifact, Mousterian, loess-palaeosol sequence, deluvial-solifluctional processes, Podillia.

Abstract:
Slow-moving arctic soils commonly organize into striking large-scale spatial patterns called solifluction terraces and lobes. Although these features impact hillslope stability, carbon storage and release, and landscape response to climate change, no mechanistic explanation exists for their formation. Everyday fluids—such as paint dripping down walls—produce markedly similar fingering patterns resulting from competition between viscous and cohesive forces. Here we use a scaling analysis to show that soil cohesion and hydrostatic effects can lead to similar large-scale patterns in arctic soils. A large dataset of high-resolution solifluction lobe spacing and morphology across Norway supports theoretical predictions and indicates a newly observed climatic control on solifluction dynamics and patterns. Our findings provide a quantitative explanation of a common pattern on Earth and other planets, illuminating the importance of cohesive forces in landscape dynamics. These patterns operate at length and time scales previously unrecognized, with implications toward understanding fluid–solid dynamics in particulate systems with complex rheology.

Full text
Abstract:
Solifluction lobes are tongue-shaped accumulations of sediment resulting from localized periglacial mass wasting. Radiocarbon records from beneath two turf-banked lobes in the Mount Rae area of the southern Canadian Rockies indicate that solifluction processes have been continuously active for at least the last 2000 years. The long-term rates of frontal movement at both sites average 0.49 cm/year, but vary in magnitude from 0.35 to 1.50 cm/year.Both lobes terminate above soil pedons progressively overridden by their advance. Estimates of the apparent mean residence time of the contemporary soil ranges from 962 ± 100 years in one case to 1600 ± 100 years in the other. This information was used to reconstruct a chronology of lobe activity. Collectively, the radiocarbon records indicate that solifluction lobes in this area were advancing quite rapidly between 1900–1750 years BP but declined to a much slower, but relatively constant, pace up until the present.

Abstract:
Solifluction lobe process and morphology were studied on an alpine slope (1800 m a.s.l) above Kluane Lake, south-western Yukon Territory. Contemporary rates of surface movements, measured by theodolite survey, were found to be greatest in the first two weeks of spring thaw, and movements were consistently faster on lobe treads than on lobe risers. Precise monitoring of thaw-consolidation parameters on a lobe indicated that most thaw-settlement occurred when the soil was saturated to the surface. At the slope scale, surface rates increased downslope in response to gradients in soil moisture, while long-term rates of lobe advance, inferred from 14C dating of buried organic horizons, were found to be similar among 12 dated lobes. The internal stratigraphy and age distribution of these lobes together suggest periodic advance of the fronts. Observations of lobe stratigraphy with the age distribution of buried humus points towards a conceptual model of lobe development involving the slow accumulation of soliflucted material behind a rigid riser, the progressive steepening of the riser and build-up of stress, and finally the rupture of the front and its extensive collapse on to the slope. The period for this developmental cycle was estimated to be about 600 years. This internal cycle of lobe development constitutes a serious buffer to climatic influence and must be taken into account when using solifluction lobes as paleoclimate sources.

Abstract:
This thesis presents an assessment of the variation in solifluction occurrence, morphometry and movement rates in the Abisko region, northern Sweden. Variations in movement rates are analyzed both on a regional and local scale. The main methodological contributions of this thesis have been to provide new techniques of analyzing spatial and temporal variations of solifluction in order to detect long term temporal trends and to regionalize the variations in movement rates. The spatial analysis is achieved by using a combination of field measurements, GIS and remote sensing techniques and statistical analysis. The results are presented in six papers, focusing on the morphometry of solifluction landforms (paper I), the occurrence of permafrost (paper II), the spatial and temporal variations of lobe front movement rates using aerial photographs (paper III), the temporal, regional and local spatial variations in movement rates (paper IV – VI) and statistical modelling of the occurrence of solifluction landforms and calculation of geomorphic work (paper V and VI). The results show that, on a regional scale, vegetation patterns are a major control on the occurrence of turf-banked solifluction landforms, with high NDVI-values (vegetation) associated with the presence of forms. Elevation is also a major control on a regional scale with a decrease in lobe dimensions and movement rates with increased elevation. High soil moisture values are associated with larger landforms and increased movement rates. Movement rates are generally higher in the western part of the region and appear to increase with higher MAAT. Equally, geomorphic work is greatest in the western part of the region. The important controls on a local scale vary from site to site, but include vegetation, slope angle and soil moisture. The photo analysis indicates that annual movement rates of lobe fronts in Kärkevagge and Låktatjåkka valley over the period 1959-2000 ranges from not-detectable to 63mm/yr. The permafrost model shows probabilities >0.8 for permafrost at elevations above 1300 m a.s.l. in the western part of the region, decreasing to altitudes over 850 m a.s.l. in the eastern part of the region. Calculated geomorphic work suggests that solifluction is a significant denudational agent in the sub-Arctic mountains of northern Sweden, but less so than previously estimated.

Abstract:
A field experiment, involving direct manipulation of surface microclimate, was undertaken in the continuous permafrost zone to examine the influence of climatic fluctuations on solifluction rates and movements throughout the active layer. Movements and soil temperature were measured continuously from 1993-1997 using five electro-mechanical meters and thermocouple cables on an 8$\sp\circ$ colluvial slope in Hot Weather Creek valley, Ellesmere Island. Natural variation of movement among the years and the meters was measured until summer of 1996 when surface climatic treatments (surface warming, wetting, a combination of these two, and cooling) were performed. The longer-term effects of the treatments were monitored until August 1997. Near-surface measurements alone do not provide an accurate picture of solifluction in areas with two-sided freezing ("cold" permafrost) because there can be substantial variation in movement rates at depth. In addition, multi-year average rates potentially hide a considerable range of annual variability and do not allow for the examination of a relationship between climatic fluctuations and annual movement.

Abstract:
Vernal pools are small seasonally-ponded wetlands that provide crucial habitat for amphibian reproduction and support trophic levels beyond their boundaries. The Ridge and Valley physiographic province in Pennsylvania is known to have vernal pools, but a regional inventory and geomorphology assessment is needed. My research is split into two independent parts focusing on the higher elevation areas of this region to determine vernal pool distribution and characteristics. Vernal pools were mapped using a LiDAR based suitability model and leaf-off aerial imagery interpretation. Four terrain rasters derived from a 1-meter DEM (modified wind modified wind exposure, terrain surface convexity, topographic position index, and a multiresolution index of valley bottom flatness) were used in the suitability model. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's HSD test found a significant difference using the model between terrestrial (non-wetland) habitat and vernal pools. Photo interpretation and field surveying lead to an inventory of 1011 vernal pools. Geomorphology was assessed from 13 variables to determine the best for vernal pool prediction. Three variables were significant for the occurrence and frequency of vernal pools; saddles with higher surface area, 0.6 to 1.5 kilometers between the summits of parallel ridgelines, and the presence of periglacial related solifluction. Vernal pool distribution is greater than previously known and they occur in predictable settings. Further research should focus on how and where vernal pools form, their impact on water quality, role in forest ecology, and ways to legally protect them at the state level.<br>Master of Science<br>Vernal pools are seasonally-ponded wetlands that are very important for amphibian reproduction.

Abstract:
La caractérisation lithologique des formations résiduelles à silex (en abrégé RS, : résidus à silex) ou altérites à silex de l'ouest du Bassin de Paris montre que ces matériaux se subdivisent en deux grands ensembles : les RS de plateau et de versant, également appelés biefs a silex. Les RS de plateau s'organisent en 6 familles géographiques aux caractéristiques lithologiques bien distinctes. Les biefs à silex ne s'organisent pas de manière régionale, mais en fonction de la nature et de la pente du versant. La genèse des RS au dépens des craies commence des l'émersion fini-crétacée. La réalisation d'un bilan d'altération entre les craies à silex et les RS indique que les RS ne sont pas uniquement un résidu d'altération des craies. Si l'origine autochtone des silex est incontestable, les matrices présentent une part allochtone importante. Au quaternaire, la dynamique périglaciaire et le creusement des vallées va entraîner des remaniements de type solifluxion des RS sur le rebord des plateaux. Ceci conduit à la formation des biefs à silex. La mise en évidence d'une géometrie en double biseau implique au moins deux phases de mise en place. La caractérisation lithologique et la compréhension de la genèse des RS permet d'établir une typologie de ces matériaux adaptée à leur utilisation comme granulats. Les biefs à silex présentent des gisements avec des volumes trop faibles pour envisager des exploitations à l'échelle industrielle. Seuls les RS de plateau dans le centre et le sud de l'Eure et le nord de l'Eure-et-Loir avec des gisements considérables apparaissent intéressants pour l'exploitation. Ces formations présentent, néanmoins, des teneurs en silex relativement faibles dans les 10 premiers mètres, nécessitant la mise au point de nouvelles méthodes de séparation silex/matrice (traitement à sec).

Abstract:
Le Haut-Arctique est caractérisé par de nombreux phénomènes climatiques et géomorphologiques extrêmes. Les températures très froides, les faibles précipitations et la couverture végétale disparate permettent une pénétration en profondeur du froid dans le sol. Ceci, combiné à un grand nombre de cycles de gel et de dégel, donne naissance à différentes formes de surface qui affectent les dynamiques d’évolution du pergélisol et induisent une variabilité verticale et latérale de la distribution des teneurs en glace dans le sol. Ce mémoire porte sur l’influence d’un lobe de solifluxion de type rocheux sur les dynamiques d’évolution du pergélisol sur l’île Ward Hunt, Nunavut (Canada). En utilisant une approche cryostratigraphique, les objectifs sont de caractériser la cryostratigraphie d’un lobe de solifluxion, ce qui permettra de proposer un modèle d’évolution du pergélisol en lien avec le déplacement de matériel par solifluxion. L’analyse cryostratigraphique a révélé que la formation du lobe de solifluxion a mené au développement syngénétique d’une couche de pergélisol avec une teneur en glace variant en fonction de la morphologie du lobe, et à l’enfouissement et la préservation d’un corps de glace massive préexistant en bas de pente. La succession verticale et latérale des cryofaciès fait état du déplacement du lobe et de l’impact que ce dernier a sur la variabilité spatiale et temporelle du pergélisol, et ce, tant sur les aspects d’aggradation liés à l’accumulation de matériel en surface que sur les aspects de dégradation associés aux réchauffements climatiques actuels.<br>The high Arctic is characterized by many extreme climatic and geomorphologic phenomena. Very cold temperatures, low precipitation and sparse vegetation cover, permit a deep penetration of cold in the soil. The latter, combined with a great number of freeze-thaw cycles, give rise to different surface features which in turn affect permafrost evolution dynamics and induce a vertical and lateral variability of the ice content distributions in the soil. This thesis focusses on the influence of a stone-banked solifluction lobe on permafrost evolution dynamics on Ward Hunt Island, Nunvut (Canada). By using a cryostratigraphic approach, the objectives are first, to characterize the cryostratigraphy of a solifluction lobe and second, to propose an evolution model of permafrost in reaction to the downslope displacement of material by solifluction. The cryostratigraphic analysis revealed that the solifluction lobes formation lead to the development of a syngenetic layer of permafrost with an ice content that varied according to the morphology of the lobe, and to the burial and preservation of a pre-existing body of massive ice at the base of the slope. The vertical and lateral sequence of the cryofacies presents the displacement of the lobe and its impact on spatial and temporal variability of the permafrost, that being, the aspects of aggradation related to the accumulation of material at the surface as well as degradation due to the actual climatic warming.

Abstract:
AbstractThe paper outlines landslide mapping and change-detection monitoring protocols based on the successes of ICL-IPL Project 202 in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. In this region, ice sheets, glaciers, permafrost, rivers and oceans, high relief, and biogeoclimatic characteristics contribute to produce distinctive landslide assemblages. Bedrock and drift-covered slopes along the transportation corridors are prone to mass-wasting when favourable conditions exist. In high-relief mountainous areas, rapidly moving landslides include rock and debris avalanches, rock and debris falls, debris flows and torrents, and lahars. In areas with moderate to low relief, rapid to slow mass movements include rockslides and slumps, debris or earth slides and slumps, and earth flows. Slow-moving landslides include rock glaciers, rock and soil creep, solifluction, and lateral spreads in bedrock and surficial deposits. Research in the Thompson River Valley aims to gain a better understanding of how geological conditions, extreme weather events and climate change influence landslide activity along the national railway corridor. Remote sensing datasets, consolidated in a geographic information system, capture the spatial relationships between landslide distribution and specific terrain features, at-risk infrastructure, and the environmental conditions expected to correlate with landslide incidence and magnitude. Reliable real-time monitoring solutions for critical railway infrastructure (e.g., ballast, tracks, retaining walls, tunnels and bridges) able to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of Canada are highlighted. The provision of fundamental geoscience and baseline geospatial monitoring allows stakeholders to develop robust risk tolerance, remediation, and mitigation strategies to maintain the resilience and accessibility of critical transportation infrastructure, while also protecting the natural environment, community stakeholders, and the Canadian economy. We conclude by proposing a best-practice solution involving three levels of investigation to describe the form and function of the wide range of rapid and slow-moving landslides occurring across Canada, which is also applicable elsewhere.

Abstract:
Pipelines in northern climates can be impacted by geohazards that are unique to cold regions. Some of these include frost heave, thaw settlement, solifluction, icings, glaciers, ice-rich slopes, and others. This paper will discuss most of these geohazards as they have been monitored, mitigated, and managed along the Trans Alaska Pipeline (TAPS) and other pipelines in Alaska and Russia. Early analyses of frost heave and thaw settlement of piles concluded that frost heave and thaw settlement would be controlled by installing passive heat removal devices (heat pipes). In permafrost areas heat pipes have generally worked well. In unfrozen terrain or discontinuous permafrost the heat pipes have not been able to maintain stability. Examples of each of these situations will be discussed. Steep rolling terrain makes up a significant part of the TAPS route. Some of the slopes are in permafrost and others are in thawed ground. For the past 15 years, surveillance and monitoring of some of the slopes along the pipeline route has documented the response of slopes in frozen ground. Warmer (that is near 0 degrees C) ice-rich slopes can creep. An example of this is documented on a slope instrumented with inclinometers and thermistors. Other slope movements related to pore pressure increases caused by active layer containment of unfrozen groundwater flows will be discussed. The impact of solifluction zones on pipeline construction and routing will be addressed as it has been managed along the TAPS. Other near surface slope movements that appear to be similar to solifluction have been observed along the pipeline right-of-way on the workpad. This paper will address an interrelationship of these observed slope behaviors. In doing this the interaction of slope seeps and the freeze front as it forms in fall and then recedes in spring and summer is compared to observations of engineered projects. Icings can be observed in several locations along TAPS. In some cases these can be related to slope movements. In other cases the icings have reached the aboveground and caused maintenance issues. TAPS was designed to avoid future surges of several large glaciers. In most years these glaciers have retreated and have not been a significant issue. A recent large earthquake caused a landslide on the largest glacier near TAPS and resulted in some review of the activity on that glacier. In 2002 a large earthquake centered near TAPS caused liquefaction in some areas, breakage of ice in lakes in some locations, and sand boils very close to the pipe. These observations will be related to the thinly frozen active layer over a deep talik during the earthquake.

Abstract:
Interdepartmental Memorandum of Understanding (IMOU) 5170 between Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN), the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) and Transport Canada Innovation Centre (TC-IC) aims to gain new insight into slow-moving landslides, and the influence of climate change, through testing conventional and emerging monitoring technologies. IMOU 5107 focuses on strategically important sections of the national railway network in the Thompson River valley, British Columbia (BC), and the Assiniboine River valley along the borders of Manitoba (MN) and Saskatchewan (SK). Results of this research are applicable elsewhere in Canada (e.g., the urban-rural-industrial landscapes of the Okanagan Valley, BC), and around the world where slow-moving landslides and climate change are adversely affecting critical socio-economic infrastructure. Open File 8931 outlines landslide mapping and changedetection monitoring protocols based on the successes of IMOU 5170 and ICL-IPL Project 202 in BC. In this region, ice sheets, glaciers, permafrost, rivers and oceans, high relief, and biogeoclimatic characteristics contribute to produce distinctive rapid and slow-moving landslide assemblages that have the potential to impact railway infrastructure and operations. Bedrock and drift-covered slopes along the transportation corridors are prone to mass wasting when favourable conditions exist. In high-relief mountainous areas, rapidly moving landslides include rock and debris avalanches, rock and debris falls, debris flows and torrents, and lahars. In areas with moderate to low relief, rapid to slow mass movements include rockslides and slumps, debris or earth slides and slumps, and earth flows. Slow-moving landslides include rock glaciers, rock and soil creep, solifluction, and lateral spreads in bedrock and surficial deposits. Research efforts lead to a better understanding of how geological conditions, extreme weather events and climate change influence landslide activity along the national railway corridor. Combining field-based landslide investigation with multi-year geospatial and in-situ time-series monitoring leads to a more resilient railway national transportation network able to meet Canada's future socioeconomic needs, while ensuring protection of the environment and resource-based communities from landslides related to extreme weather events and climate change. InSAR only measures displacement in the east-west orientation, whereas UAV and RTK-GNSS change-detection surveys capture full displacement vectors. RTK-GNSS do not provide spatial coverage, whereas InSAR and UAV surveys do. In addition, InSAR and UAV photogrammetry cannot map underwater, whereas boat-mounted bathymetric surveys reveal information on channel morphology and riverbed composition. Remote sensing datasets, consolidated in a geographic information system, capture the spatial relationships between landslide distribution and specific terrain features, at-risk infrastructure, and the environmental conditions expected to correlate with landslide incidence and magnitude. Reliable real-time monitoring solutions for critical railway infrastructure (e.g., ballast, tracks, retaining walls, tunnels, and bridges) able to withstand the harsh environmental conditions of Canada are highlighted. The provision of fundamental geoscience and baseline geospatial monitoring allows stakeholders to develop robust risk tolerance, remediation, and mitigation strategies to maintain the resilience and accessibility of critical transportation infrastructure, while also protecting the natural environment, community stakeholders, and Canadian economy. We propose a best-practice solution involving three levels of investigation to describe the form and function of the wide range of rapid and slow-moving landslides occurring across Canada that is also applicable elsewhere. Research activities for 2022 to 2025 are presented by way of conclusion.
