Field estimation of waterice phase composition of permafrost samples using a calorimetric method
Waterice phase composition of undisturbed frozen ground samples obtained with a U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) core barrel at different depths in permafrost mounds at Kangiqsualujjuaq and Umiujaq in northern Quebec was measured in the field using an adiabatic cal...

Waterice phase composition of undisturbed frozen ground samples obtained with a U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) core barrel at different depths in permafrost mounds at Kangiqsualujjuaq and Umiujaq in northern Quebec was measured in the field using an adiabatic calorimetric method.

A better understanding of thermal and physicomechanical aspects of frozen ground could be gained from the stratigraphic profile of waterice phase composition in permafrost mounds measured with the adiabatic calorimetric method. Key words: adiabatic calorimetry, unfrozen water content, permafrost, field tests. |
