Terrain and Coastal Conditions on the Arctic Alaskan Coastal Plain. Arctic Environmental Data Package. Supplement 1
The group of four reports describes the characteristics and seasonal variation of prominent relief features on and along the margin of the arctic coastal plain. These relief features include polygonal ground patterns, lake scarps and coastal features. The range of polygonal ground patterns commonly...
