MARC recordPalsa-scale frost mounds / Frederick E. Nelson, Kenneth M. Hinkel, Samuel I. Outcalt.
| Title: | Palsa-scale frost mounds / Frederick E. Nelson, Kenneth M. Hinkel, Samuel I. Outcalt. |
| Author(s): | Nelson, Frederick E. Hinkel, Kenneth M. Outcalt, Samuel I. |
| Date: | 1992. |
| Publisher: | Chichester: John Wiley & Sons |
| In: | Periglacial geomorphology. Proceedings of the 22nd Annual Binghamton Symposium in Geomorphology. (1992.), |
| Abstract: | Discusses question of terminology and pleads for more flexible, inclusive and accessible lexicon. Suggests nomenclature which couples morphologic and genetic inferences. Can be divided into four genetic categories: ice-segregation, hydrostatic, hydraulic, buoyant. Criteria for recognition of genetic variations include stratigraphy, ice fabrics, and patterns of ionic concentration and bubble inclusions. May be of aggradational or degradational origin. |
| Notes: | In: Periglacial geomorphology. Proceedings of the 22nd Annual Binghamton Symposium in Geomorphology / John C. Dixon, Athol D. Abrahams, eds. |
| Keywords: | 551.34 -- Geocryology. Frozen ground. 551.343.72 -- Frost mounds. Pingos. E8 -- Glaciology: frost action and permafrost. |
