“…Detailed reconstruction of sedimentary sequences and sediment dating on the interfluves with fragmented or absent permafrost and wide-mesh vegetation cover show that increased surface runoff and denudation resulted in cryopediment formation (Nyland et al 2023). Typically, this hydro-morphological process occurred in the initial stage of permafrost development and during its degradation phase, as exemplified by the Belgian-Dutch border zone before and after the last Permafrost Maximum.…”

“…The topographic gradient of such planar surfaces towards the main river thalwegs is gently sloping. Their spatial extents vary between a few hundred meters and some kilometers and were originally welldocumented from Siberia [7,18], and recently reviewed [27]. Similar forms were originally defined in hot deserts and termed pediments but were later also recognized in cold regions where they are called 'cryopediments'.…”
