• A glimpse into the northernmost thermo-erosion gullies in Svalbard archipelago and their implications for Arctic cultural heritage 

      Nicu, Ionut Cristi; Tanyas, Hakan; Rubensdotter, Brita Lena Eleonor Fredin; Lombardo, Luigi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Gully erosion is one of the most destructive geomorphological processes on relatively flat surfaces. This is exacerbated in the Arctic regions, where gullies are referred to as thermo-erosion gullies because of their unique ...
    • Preliminary assessment of thaw slump hazard to Arctic cultural heritage in Nordenskiöld Land, Svalbard 

      Nicu, Ionut Cristi; Lombardo, Luigi; Rubensdotter, Brita Lena Eleonor Fredin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Permafrost-dependent landslides occur in a range of sizes and are among the most dynamic landforms in the Arctic in the warming climate. Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTSs) are enlarging landslides triggered by thawing and ...
