Surface morphological types and spatial distribution of fan-shaped landforms in the periglacial high-Arctic environment of central Spitsbergen, Svalbard
A 1:19,500 map of the Petunibukta region documents the spatial distribution of almost 300 colluvial and alluvial fans (together with their catchments) in the periglacial high-Arctic environment of Svalbard. Fan-shaped landforms were mapped using an orthophoto and digital elevation model generated fr...
