Oedometer tests on frozen cores from Qaanaaq, Greenland
This report summarizes incremental loading oedometer tests conducted on specimens of frozen fine grained sediments from the Qaanaaq area. As part of the site investigations conducted in Qaanaaq in the summer of 2017, 23 boreholes were drilled using a Nordmeyer DSB 3 drill rig. As the area is affecte...
