Abstract

Permafrost is widely distributed in the high latitudes. This chapter discusses frozen (permafrost) and unfrozen states of the hydrological geometry in the northern regions. The hydrological activities are very active and dynamic not only in discontinuous permafrost zone but also in cold continuous permafrost areas. Water carries significant amount of heat in aquifer and talik system. Water locates in the depth below the maximum ice formation can develop an unfrozen layer underneath the water body (i.e., talik and thaw bulb). Taliks could be open to connect to the sub-permafrost layer, while the hydrologic gradient makes flow in upward or downward directions. The heat balance of the super-, inter-, or sub- permafrost generates unique unfrozen geometry in the permafrost. This chapter also reviews various cellars developed and used in the arctic regions by indigenous people.
