Permafrost landscapes are one of the most sensitive ecosystems that humans inhabit. Geocryological conditions determined by the presence of ice content, the genetic type of sediments, and the active layer are one of the most important variables for classifying the vulnerability of an ecosystem to disturbances in vegetation and soil cover. These...

One of the challenges of human security in the Arctic regions, and more specifically in the Eastern Siberian Arctic regions, concerns the assessment of inhabitants' exposure to recurrent environmental risks for the urban population in a geophysical environment characterized by notable change dynamics. The latter is known as permafrost...

Arctic extensively urbanized centers are subject to the impact of many negative environmental phenomena progressing in terms of global climate change and regional development in Yakutia in the context of poor and missing databases. For this reason, the modeling of the risk exposures is based on combining the remote sensing, and local knowledge...
