Here are 3 ways freeze thaw cycles hurt homes (and humans!) and how to fight back. Concrete foundations, driveways, patios To-do before next winter: Protect surfaces with sealant specifically ...

Freeze thaw weathering takes place above the glacier as ice thaws and then refreezes inside cracks or fissures in the rock. Each time water freezes, it expands, widening the crack a small amount.

PennDOT officials say they see the worst of the freeze-thaw cycle between February 15 and April 15 here in NEPA. And while they might call it freeze-thaw season, you call it pothole season.

The natural freeze-thaw process occurs when water seeps into cracks, freezes and over time expands, causing rock and sediment to eventually corrode. “What happens a lot of time through the winter is ...

To understand the regional impacts of permafrost thaw and weathering, Ph.D. candidate Scott Zolkos and his supervisor Suzanne Tank, assistant professor of biology at U of A, worked with scientists ...
