Ice-wedge polygons and solifluction in the Adventdalen area, Spitsbergen, Svalbard / L. Sorbel, J. Tolgensbakk.
Title: | Ice-wedge polygons and solifluction in the Adventdalen area, Spitsbergen, Svalbard / L. Sorbel, J. Tolgensbakk. |
Author(s): | Sorbel, L. Tolgensbakk, J. |
Date: | 2002. |
In: | Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift. (2002.), Vol. 56(2) (2002) |
Abstract: | Interprets areas of ice-wedge polygons around Adventdalen, Spitsbergen, found up to 500 m a.s.l. Assumes higher polygons may be older than Weichselian. Slopes of at least 25° produce most polygons. Where there are undisturbed polygon patterns, solifluction lobes are absent and show little movement; in solifluction lobes movement may be 4 cm a year. |
