The Geomorphic Implications of the Geo-Hydrology of Gypsum Karst Areas
Gypsum karst areas in British Columbia and Wood Buffalo National Park, Alta.-N.W.T. are described. Investigation of the geo-hydrology of these areas, particularly specifically the saturation states of rising waters, is demonstrated to be a valuable tool in defining the major geomorphic processes act...
