Thermal and Mechanical Modeling of Coastal Erosion Processes on Tuktoyaktuk Island, Northwest Territories
Arctic coasts are particularly vulnerable to rapid and extreme erosion due to the presence of ice-rich permafrost sediment, with erosion rates varying anywhere from 1 to 20 m/yr in the region. Erosion is limited to the open-water season such that the factors controlling rates of erosion are warmer a...
