The term “cryopedology” is derived from the Greek words cryos (“icy cold”), pedon (“soil”), and logos (“study”) and, hence, refers to the study of frozen ground and intensive frost action. Although cryosols were studied for many years in Russia, Nikiforoff (1928) introduced the concept of frozen...

סיכום:The term “cryopedology” is derived from the Greek words cryos (“icy cold”), pedon (“soil”), and logos (“study”) and, hence, refers to the study of frozen ground and intensive frost action. Although cryosols were studied for many years in Russia, Nikiforoff (1928) introduced the concept of frozen ground and intensive frost action to the English-speaking world. He provided a historical overview of permafrost, a map showing the distribution of permafrost in Eurasia, a summary of data regarding permafrost thickness, and its relation to present-day and paleo-climates. Kirk Bryan (1946), the American geomorphologist, introduced “cryopedology” as the study of frozen ground and intensive frost action. In 1949, the French geomorphologist André Guilcher traced the development of cryopedology. Cailleux and Taylor (1954) published Cryopedology: the Study of Frozen Soils as part of the French polar expedition to Greenland... Sokolov, Charles Tarnocai, John Tedrow, Fio Ugolini, and other colleagues. As always, my wife Julie offered me encouragement in this endeavor, and it is to her the book is dedicated.
