The Distribution and possible Genesis of some Organic Terrain Patterns in the Southern Mackenzie River Valley
Terrain types in the southern Mackenzie River valley can be arranged into morphological series which are, in part, continuous and, in part, discontinuous, so as to allow speculation on the probable evolution of organic terrain in the area from frozen to unfrozen landscapes, accompanying the long-ter...
