MARC recordCreep of Alpine permafrost, investigated on the Murtel rock glacier / Stephan Wagner.
| Title: | Creep of Alpine permafrost, investigated on the Murtel rock glacier / Stephan Wagner. |
| Author(s): | Wagner, Stephan. |
| Date: | 1992. |
| In: | Permafrost and Periglacial Processes. (1992.), Vol. 3(2) (1992) |
| Abstract: | Presents and analyzes bore-hole and surface deformation measurements from active rock glacier. Found to consist of two layers, behaving differently. Upper layer, 28 m in depth, is mainly massive ice. Lower layer (32 to 50 m) consists of coarse blocks with ice-filled pores. Transition zone between layers. Upper layer undergoes steady-state creep (5.5 to 6.0 cm a⁻¹), overriding non-deforming lower layer of saturated permafrost. 75% of deformation takes place in weak transitional zone. |
| Notes: | Permafrost and Periglacial Processes. Vol. 3(2) :157-162 (1992). |
