MARC recordRates and controls of soil movement on a solifluction slope in the Mount Rae area, Canadian Rocky Mountains / Daniel J. Smith.
| Title: | Rates and controls of soil movement on a solifluction slope in the Mount Rae area, Canadian Rocky Mountains / Daniel J. Smith. |
| Author(s): | Smith, Daniel J. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| Abstract: | Large contribution to rate of surface movement made by frost creep. Seasonal thawing of ground prompted sharp decreases of potential consistency as soil water contents rose sharply. These appeared to be correlated directly to depth of soil movement and may provide explanation for observed temporal and spatial fluctuations in soil movement rates. |
| Notes: | Offprint: Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie. Supplementband. Vol. 71 :25-44. Issue devoted to papers on theme "Comparative studies of active, inactive and Pleistocene periglacial phenomena" presented at 12th INQUA Congress in Ottawa, Canada, 31 July-9 August 1987. |
| Keywords: | 551.343 -- Periglacial processes. Thermokarst. E8 -- Glaciology: frost action and permafrost. (*41) -- Canada. |
| Location(s): | SCO: SPRI-SHF: 551.343 |
