Ice and frozen conditions affect Earth’s surface in high latitude and high altitude landscapes. Landscape change in these regions has implications for terrestrial and nearshore environments, infrastructure, communities, and possibly Earth’s climate. Permafrost, ice sheets, and glaciers exert a control on landscape dynamics, geomorphic processes, and physical feedback mechanisms across a range of spatial and temporal scales. The details of how permafrost and ice specifically influence geomorphic processes from the local to landscape scale are not well constrained. The effects of changing environmental drivers on ice, permafrost, surface processes, and coupled future trajectories are difficult to predict. This session brings together researchers focusing on landscape evolution in ice-influenced landscapes to understand how permafrost, ice, surface processes, and the feedbacks that shape them respond to changing climates, from past to present and future climate trajectories. We welcome contributions studying ice-influenced landscape dynamics via field observations, remote sensing, experimental, and modeling techniques.
