| Title: | Ice wedge growth in newly aggrading permafrost, western Arctic coast, Canada / J. Ross Mackay. |
| Author(s): | Mackay, J. Ross. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| Publisher: | Trondheim: Tapir Publishers |
| In: | Permafrost. Fifth International Conference. August 2-5, 1988. Proceedings. (1988.), Vol. 1. |
| Abstract: | Nearly every summer in this area, at least one lake drains rapidly and permafrost begins to aggrade on exposed lake bottom. These then provide ideal sites for study of initiation and growth of ice wedges. Ice-wedge growth in two such sites on Tuktoyaktuk peninsula and on Richards Island is described. |
