《永凍土和冰緣過(guò)程》是一本國(guó)際期刊，致力于快速出版有關(guān)地球表面低溫過(guò)程、地貌和沉積物的科學(xué)和技術(shù)論文，這些論文存在于各種(亞)北極、南極和高山環(huán)境中。它為那些對(duì)寒冷的非冰期地球科學(xué)感興趣的人提供了一個(gè)有效的交流工具。重點(diǎn)是(1)原始研究基于地貌水文沉積學(xué)的這些地區(qū)的巖土工程和工程方面和原始研究(2)殘遺功能的目的是重建過(guò)程的性質(zhì)和/或古環(huán)境,催生了這些特性而不是純粹的地層方面的考慮。該雜志還出版簡(jiǎn)短的通訊評(píng)論、討論和書(shū)評(píng)。

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes is an international journal dedicated to the rapid publication of scientific and technical papers concerned with earth surface cryogenic processes landforms and sediments present in a variety of (Sub) Arctic Antarctic and High Mountain environments. It provides an efficient vehicle of communication amongst those with an interest in the cold non-glacial geosciences. The focus is on (1) original research based on geomorphological hydrological sedimentological geotechnical and engineering aspects of these areas and (2) original research carried out upon relict features where the objective has been to reconstruct the nature of the processes and/or palaeoenvironments which gave rise to these features as opposed to purely stratigraphical considerations. The journal also publishes short communications reviews discussions and book reviews.
