Thermal Conductivity of Some Ice-rich Permafrost Soils
Values are presented for the thermal conductivity of frozen and thawed ice rich permafrost soils from Inuvik, Northwest Territories, measured under field and laboratory conditions with a cylindrical heat source. Samples were shipped to Ottawa, Canada, in the frozen condition at temperatures ranging...
