| Description: | CRREL Monograph Abstract: This monograph summarizes information on permafrost for engineering construction in cold regions. The distribution and origin of permafrost is discussed and information on structure, thickness, and thermal regime is summarized. Patterned ground and vegetation in the cold regions are discussed and the engineering significance of permafrost is reviewed.
