Frost heave on earth hummocks (pounus) in Finnish Lapland
Cold area ; Finland ; Freezing ; Frost action ; Ground survey ; Lapland ; Periglacial features ; Snow
Frost heave, frost and snow depths on 2 earth hummocks (pounus) were monitored from 1992 to 2002 in Finnish Lapland. Frost heave was measured with motometers, frost depth with Gandahl's frost tube containing methylene blue, and snow depth with frost
Effects of high-magnitude/low-frequency fluvial events generated by intense snowmelt or heavy rainfall in arctic periglacial environments in northern Swedish Lapland and northern Siberia

The characteristics of these events in the arctic-oceanic Latnjavagge drainage basin in northern Swedish Lapland are analysed and compared with snowmelt and rainfall-induced runoff peaks in the Krasnaya river system in arctic northern Siberia

Modelling the distribution of palsas in Finnish Lapland with logistic regression and GIS
The location of palsas (peat mounds with a perennially frozen core) was mapped in an area of 3370 km2 in Finnish Lapland by interpreting aerial digital photographs. Using environmental variables derived from digital land cover data and an elevation
The geobotanical development of spring-fed mires in Finnish Lapland
Surficial groundwater conditions, especially spring-fed mires in Central Finnish Lapland, are geobotanically interpreted with the aid of black-and-white and infra-red colour aerial photographs, together with field analyses of the vegetation at nine
