Retrogressive thaw slumps are one of the most dramatic thermokarst landforms in periglacial regions. This thesis investigates the impacts of two of the largest hillslope thaw slumps on the geochemistry of periglacial streams on the Peel Plateau, Northwest Territories. It aims to describe the inorgan...
