Lake shoreline development, frost weathering and rock platform erosion in an alpine periglacial environment, Jotunheimen, southern Norway / John A. Matthews, Alastair G. Dawson, Richard A. Shakesby.
Title: | Lake shoreline development, frost weathering and rock platform erosion in an alpine periglacial environment, Jotunheimen, southern Norway / John A. Matthews, Alastair G. Dawson, Richard A. Shakesby. |
Author(s): | Matthews, John A. Dawson, Alastair G. Shakesby, Richard A. |
Date: | 1986. |
In: | Boreas. (1986.), Vol. 15(1) (1986) |
Abstract: | Exposure of shoreline of ice-dammed lake after AD 1826 revealed features now lying 4 m above present lake level, especially rock platform attributed to lake shore frost weathering and erosion. Time scale for formation of these features has been established and rates of erosion calculated. |
Notes: | Boreas. Vol. 15(1) :33-50 (1986). |
