Permafrost and seasonal frost thermal dynamics over fifty years on tropical Maunakea volcano, Hawai‘i

ABSTRACTA unique permafrost thermal state was examined at Maunakea, Hawaiʻi. The presence of the permafrost was determined in 1969. Mean annual ground surface temperature (MAGST) is significantly above zero at permafrost sites, between +2°C and +5°C. This indicates that subsurface thermal processes...
