| Title: | Permafrost and ground ice conditions reported during recent geotechnical investigations in the Mayo district, Yukon Territory / C.R. Burn. |
| Author(s): | Burn, C. R. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Permafrost and Periglacial Processes. (1991.), Vol. 2(3) (1991) |
| Abstract: | Discontinuous permafrost: thickness up to 40 m in valleys and 135 m at higher elevations. Distribution is sensitive to aspect, and varies with nature of glacial deposits (fine-grained lacustrine and outwash materials contain large amounts of segregated ice, whereas coarser outwash is relatively ice-poor). Geothermal flux in region is over 0.1 W m⁻². |
| Notes: | Permafrost and Periglacial Processes. Vol. 2(3) :259-268 (1991). |
| Keywords: | 551.34 -- Geocryology. Frozen ground. 551.345.1 -- Permafrost, surveys. E8 -- Glaciology: frost action and permafrost. (*41) -- Canada. (*430) -- Yukon Territory. |
