Thermal behaviour of retrogressive thaw slumps over time revealed by ERT - an example from Herschel Island, Canada
In the last century the number of retrogressive thaw slumps has doubled in some arctic regions, e.g. Herschel Island, Yukon Territory, Canada [Lantuit and Pollard, 2008]. Retrogressive thaw slumps are a common thermocarst landform along the coast of Herschel Island [Lantuit and Pollard, 2005]. Howev...

Summary: | In the last century the number of retrogressive thaw slumps has doubled in some arctic regions, e.g. Herschel Island, Yukon Territory, Canada [Lantuit and Pollard, 2008]. Retrogressive thaw slumps are a common thermocarst landform along the coast of Herschel Island [Lantuit and Pollard, 2005]. However mechanical conditions leading to the evolution of those retrogressive thaw slumps are poorly understood. |
