Abstract
Abstract Earthflows are discussed that are characteristic of various regions where unconsolidated sediments overlie permafrost. The shape and genesis of the earthflows are examined, as are the processes generating and associated with them. The article draws upon field work from the Bovanenko region of the Yamal Peninsula, a major area of permafrost disturbance resulting from natural gas and gas condensate exploration and development. Four different types of earthflows are identified. The relationship is examined between different types of land use in the susceptible regions and the processes of earthflow formation, including large ones that pose a hazard to construction and sometimes destroy structures.
