ON THE ORIGIN OF AGGRADATIONAL ICE IN PERMAFROST.
The water balance in the upper layers of permafrost, near Mayo, Yukon Territory, has been monitored at two sites by neutron probe and heave displacement tubes. Results obtained between 4 April 1984 and 2 May 1985 are reported. The principal forces controlling water movement are temperature-induced:...
