Thermo-erosional valleys (TEVs) and gullies are important but poorly studied components of the western Canadian and American Arctic. Through combined mechanical and thermal processes, TEVs incise the landscapes and modify the carbon stocks through their impact on soils, deeper permafrost layers, and...
