Permafrost and Periglacial Processes

期刊简介：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. The high scientific standard, interdisciplinary character and worldwide representation of PPP are maintained by regional editorial support and a rigorous refereeing system.

【译文】这是一本国际期刊，专注于快速发表关于地球表面低温过程、各种（亚）北极、南极和高山环境中的地形和沉积物的科学和技术论文。它为对寒冷、非冰川地球科学感兴趣的人提供了一个有效的沟通渠道。重点在于（1）基于这些地区的地貌、水文、沉积学、岩土工程和工程方面的原创研究，以及（2）对遗迹进行的原创研究，其目标是重建导致这些特征的过程和/或古环境的性质，而不是纯粹的地层学考虑。该期刊还发表简报、评论、讨论和书评。
