An investigation of two periglacial landforms on ignimbrite blockslopes in Kluane National Park and Reserve, Yukon Territory
… documents a feature similar to stone-banked solifluction terraces, termed blockslope terraces (BSTs) within this research, and are found in large numbers on low- to mid-slopes of Campsite Peak above the treeline, mantling a blocky open matrix of ignimbrite cobble-to-boulder material. BSTs …

Periglacial Geomorphological Mapping of the Comanche Peak Area . Mummy Range, Larimer County, Colorado
… in the study area are: sorted stone stripes, solifluction terraces, solifluction lobes, sorted polygons, bouldery subsidences, boulder fields, hummocky soil creep and cryoplanation surfaces. The patterned ground features, sorted polygons and sorted stripes develop only at elevations above …

Vernal Pool Mapping and Geomorphology in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania
… and the presence of periglacial related solifluction. Vernal pool distribution is greater than previously known and they occur in predictable settings. Further research should focus on how and where vernal pools form, their impact on water quality, role in forest ecology, and ways to …

Characterization Of Arctic Soils: Interrelationships With Site And Vegetation
… "free" iron (diminished in the B horizons of the solifluction scar area, and enhanced at the toe of the slope). Lateral variations in the pedogenic mechanisms identified above were found to be sensitive to even subtle variations in microenvironment along the catena. Soil taxa, however, were much …

The Engineering Properties of Glacial Tills in the Taff Valley, South Wales
… tills and fluvioglacial deposits. Solifluction deposits closely resemble the soil types from which they are locally derived.<br/><br/>Geomorphological mapping has provided a suitable method of identifying and genetically classifying soils when related to models of glacial and …

The glacial geomorphology of part of the Western Grampians of Scotland, with especial reference to the limits of the Loch Lomond Advance
… screes, smooth debris-strewn slopes, tors, and solifluction lobes, terraces and sheets. 199 mapped trimlines, based on various forms of contrasting glacial and periglacial evidence, enabled the upper limits and form of the glaciers to be reconstructed, to varying degrees of accuracy, especially …

Description and Genesis of selected Glacial Deposits, Walsh County, North Dakota
… sediments indicate subsequent modification by solifluction and frost action. Homme Reservoir sediments one mile east of the Edinburg moraine, reveal evidence of deposition in close association with ice. Furthermore, it is concluded that the processes of glacial, fluviatile, and lacustrine …

Effect of mass wasting on soil organic carbon storage and coastal erosion in permafrost environments
… by intense mass-wasting processes such as solifluction, active-layer detachments and retrogressive thaw slumping. Our aim is to assess the influence of mass wasting on SOC storage and coastal erosion. We studied SOC storage on Herschel Island by analysing active-layer and permafrost …
