A Model for Quantifying Ground‐Ice Volume, Yukon Coast, Western Arctic Canada
A morphological model for estimating ground‐ice contents of various landscape units is presented to address the gap between large‐scale, general studies and small‐scale, site‐specific case histories. The model considers different ground‐ice types and cryostratigraphic relations between ice bodies wi...
