Periglacial phenomena in New Zealand
Abstract The presence of periglacial phenomena and activity in New Zealand is controlled primarily by altitude, especially as modified by topography and lithology. Thus, the alpine‐type mountains that form the backbone of the South Island (Southern Alps) show little in the way of patterned ground, w...
