The Yedoma Region: A Synthesis of Circum-Arctic Distribution and Thickness (Action Group Report)
Vast regions of Arctic Siberia, Alaska, and the Yukon Territory are covered by ice-rich silts penetrated by large ice wedges, resulting from syngenetic sedimentation and freezing. Because of fast incorporation of organic material into permafrost during sedimentation, Yedoma deposits include low-degr...
