Past and present permafrost distribution in the Turtmanntal, Wallis, Swiss Alps / Frank G.M. van Tatenhove, Richard Dikau.
Title: | Past and present permafrost distribution in the Turtmanntal, Wallis, Swiss Alps / Frank G.M. van Tatenhove, Richard Dikau. |
Author(s): | Tatenhove, Frank G. M. van. Dikau, Richard. |
Date: | 1990. |
In: | Arctic and Alpine Research. (1990.), Vol. 22(3) (1990) |
Abstract: | Permafrost distribution mapped, based on indirect methods, checked locally with seismic measurements. Most attention given to active rock glaciers, which are reliable indicators of permafrost. Relation between permafrost and glaciers discussed. Presents method for reconstructing past permafrost distribution using fossil rock glaciers and glacial deposits. |
Notes: | Arctic and Alpine Research. Vol. 22(3) :302-316 (1990). |
