The IPA is happy to present the new Frozen Ground and the IPA Country Reports for 2010.
The new issue of the bulletin of the International Permafrost Association, Frozen Ground, is available online at:
http://ipa.arcticportal.org/publications/frozen-ground
Frozen Ground has been modified to a shorter, sharper and more attractive format (8 pages) and focuses on the highlights from 2010. Reports from the member countries activities are also available online in a new online publication of the IPA, the IPA Country Reports. You can read them all at:
http://ipa.arcticportal.org/publications/country-reports.html
Country Reports will be added to the publication as they are provided by the country members and will be published as updates on the IPA RSS Feed, on the IPA Facebook page and on the IPA Twitter account.Those can be followed at:

A great effort has been put into archiving past country reports on the same online system. They will be made available progressively in the online database. You can now read reports for the years 1988-1994 and 2009-2010.
The IPA has been undergoing a large number of changes the past year and we encourage you to read more about it in Frozen Ground. You can also now register with the IPA as an individual member and keep yourself informed on the most recent news from the permafrost community:
