Zur periglaziären Morphodynamik auf den Aleuten, SW-Alaska / Ekkehard Schunke.
Title: | Zur periglaziären Morphodynamik auf den Aleuten, SW-Alaska / Ekkehard Schunke. |
Translated title: | On periglacial morphodynamics in the Aleutian Islands, SW-Alaska. |
Author(s): | Schunke, Ekkehard. |
Date: | 1999. |
Language: | German. |
In: | Erdkunde. (1999.), Vol. 53(2) (1999) |
Abstract: | Describes effect of oceanic frost climate on periglacial morphology of Aleutian island of Unalaska studied during summers of 1996 and 1997. Effect of freezing does not show below about 150 m a.s.l. Though climate of Unalaska Island is highly oceanic, summer rain causes limited fluvial action, main valley formation being produced during snow-melt period. Aleutian Islands shown to differ strongly from continental periglacial regions with narrow variability of periglacial features and through minor frequencies, densities, and sizes of periglacial forms, caused by limited seasonal ground freezing. |
