Pingos et palses: un essai de synthese des connaissances actuelles.

Pingos result from pressure exerted under a permafrost layer by underground water, either by cryostatic action or by hydraulic pressure. Palsas form by cryosuction (ie movement of water to the freezing plane to form segregated ice). The climatic conditions conducive to the formation of the different...
