Solifluction and the Role of Permafrost Creep, Eastern Melville Island, N.W.T., Canada
Abstract In situ measurements of solifluction and permafrost creep on several low‐angled slopes near Rea Point, Melville Island, emphasize that there is no clear relationship between the two processes. Solifluction and permafrost creep are essentially independent in time (e.g. early summer versus la...
