MARC recordThermokarst involutions, Summer Island, Pleistocene Mackenzie delta, western Canadian Arctic / Julian B. Morton, Hugh M. French.
| Title: | Thermokarst involutions, Summer Island, Pleistocene Mackenzie delta, western Canadian Arctic / Julian B. Morton, Hugh M. French. |
| Author(s): | Morton, Julian B. French, Hugh M. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Permafrost and Periglacial Processes. (1993.), Vol. 4(3) (1993) |
| Abstract: | In general, these features form by loading, buoyancy and water-escape during degradation of ice-rich permafrost. In this area, they are formed mainly by loading and buoyancy, and occur within Late Wisconsinan--Early Holocene thaw layer. |
| Notes: | Permafrost and Periglacial Processes. Vol. 4(3) :217-229 (1993). |
