MARC recordClimatic zonality of periglacial landforms in mountain areas / Stuart A. Harris.
| Title: | Climatic zonality of periglacial landforms in mountain areas / Stuart A. Harris. |
| Author(s): | Harris, Stuart A. |
| Date: | 1994. |
| In: | Arctic. (1994.), Vol. 47(2) (1994) |
| Abstract: | Discusses some key permafrost landforms, with examples from those areas which have, up to now, been considered relatively inaccessible: Russia, Siberia, Central Asia, China and South American Cordillera. Active periglacial areas are dominated by active rock glaciers (in cold humid conditions); by active block streams (in cold dry climates); and by gelifluction-dominated landforms (in warmer areas). These have distinct ranges of mean annual temperature and precipitation, which can be used in interpreting climatic changes based on distribution of fossil landforms. |
