The COLD Database
The COLD Database is comprised of the following:
The USPA Permafrost Alert Program (2011 - 2022)
Between September 2011 and December 2022, the COLD Database was updated each month with new references to permafrost. These updates were supported by the U. S. Permafrost Association which, with generous support from program sponsors, posted a monthly alert to the recent permafrost literature.
