Relationship between ground ice and solifluction: Field measurements in the Daisetsu Mountains, northern Japan
Abstract Soil temperature, surface heave and downslope movements were monitored continuously for one year (1998–99) within a solifluction lobe developed on seasonally frozen ground in the Daisetsu Mountains, northern Japan. Observations were also made of soil moisture and ice segregation. Seasonal f...
