Abstract
- The presence of snow, ice, and permafrost creates an intricate environment that uses the cold as a resource to develop unique forms of infrastructures. The articles featured in this special section highlight the crucial role of snow, ice, and permafrost in building, maintaining and sustaining human-environment relations in cold environments, particularly in the Arctic. Recent studies show that permafrost degradation poses a significant threat to built infrastructure (Hjort et al. [15]), resulting in substantial costs (Streletskiy et al. [33], [32]). The study of infrastructures has seen a growing interest in recent years across academic disciplines and global regions. [Extracted from the article]
