| Title: | The structure and dynamics of earth hummocks in the subarctic forest near Inuvik, Northwest Territories, Canada / S.V. Kokelj, C.R. Burn, C. Tarnocai. |
| Author(s): | Kokelj, S. V. Burn, C. R. Tarnocai, C. |

| In: | Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research. (2007.), Vol. 39(1) (2007) |
| Abstract: | Describes surface microrelief, permafrost table configuration, ground-ice, and soil organic-matter contents for three sites near Inuvik, NWT, that are characterised by collapsed, poorly-developed, and well-developed earth hummocks. Finds aggradational-ice development is principal mechanism driving modification of hummock form; also active-layer deepening leading to destruction of bowl-shaped permafrost table and degradation of near-surface ground ice is primary cause of subsidence and outward spreading of well-developed hummocks. |
