Distribution and Character of Naleds in Northeastern Alaska
Satellite imagery and high- and low-altitude aerial photography of the North Slope of Alaska indicate that naleds (features formed during river icing) are widespread east of the Colville River but less abundant to its west. Where naleds occur, stream channels are wide and often braided. Their distri...
