Freeze–thaw cycle: The process of repeated freezing and thawing, which leads to alterations in soil moisture distribution, microstructure, and mechanical properties.

A week filled with temperatures in the 50s has Minnesotans excited to embrace the warmth, and hopefully see their yards thaw out. Latest U.S.

The freeze-thaw process can last over a period of months and historically was mitigated by predictable air temperature and snow cover depth. Climate change, however, warms the air and thins the snow, ...

That freeze-thaw cycle grows potholes, and the pothole growth also gets help from the things going on beneath the pavement. “In the next few weeks, the soil below has frost in it, ...

Shadi Hatami: My research aims at identifying the impacts of climate change on soil freeze and thaw patterns across the Canadian landmass. This image, which is informed by NASA’s satellite imagery and ...

Subfreezing conditions and treacherous roadways have contributed to dozens of deaths this month across the U.S., but the numbing cold is expected to ease up in the coming days.

Freeze–thaw cycles drive pronounced modifications in the mechanical behaviour of soils. The repeated transition between freezing and thawing induces water–ice phase changes that disrupt the ...
