Syngenetic dynamic of permafrost of a polar desert solifluction lobe, Ward Hunt Island, Nunavut
Repeated freeze–thaw cycles on slopes trigger sorting and solifluction mass movements, while subsequent displacement of material modifies the geomorphology of slopes as well as permafrost dynamics. This study focuses on the geomorphology and the cryostratigraphy of a polar desert stone-banked solifl...
