Cyclic Development and Thermokarstic Degradation of Palsas in the Mid‐Alpine Zone at Leirpullan, Dovrefjell, Southern Norway

The palsas of Leirpullan are developed in deltaic sands and silts in the zone of alpine permafrost at an altitude of 1437 m (estimated mean annual air temperature −2.7°C). Five mounds that represent a chronosequence are analysed with particular reference to initiation, aggradation and degradation ph...
