Abstract

Certain processes occurring in the northern part of the permafrost zone pose hazards for construction. These include cryogenic landslides. Three types are discussed for the Yamal Peninsula: shearing slides (active layer detachment failures), ground ice slumps, and earth flows. The first prevail in size and number. Certains processus de versant qui se produisent dans la partie septentrionale de la zone du permafrost entraǐnent des risques pour les constructions. Ceux‐ci comprennent des glissements de terrain cryogéniques dont trois types sont discutés pour la péninsule de Yamal, à savoir: des glissements de la couche active, des glissements rotationnels de la glace du sol et des fluages de terre. Le premier type de glissement est de loin le plus important.
