Islands of Grounded Ice

ARCTIC, 1975
In August 1972, the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker Burton Island confirmed the existence of a large ice formation located at about 160 km northwest of Point Barrow, which had first been observed by 1971 satellite imagery of the U.S. National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA-1).

A ground ice atlas of Canada

2021
This Open File summarizes ground ice information from 31 sites across the permafrost regions in Canada. The poster presents a map with photographs from each site, and estimates of ground ice abundance from segregated, wedge, and relict ice in top 5 m of permafrost, derived from national-scale mapping by O'Neill et al. (2019; 2020).

Ground ice on Svalbard

Polar Geography and Geology, 1989
Abstract Svalbard is an area of widespread occurrence not only of glaciers but also of ground ice. Field studies conducted in 1987 for the first time provided data on the structure and occurrence of ground ice, from ice cement and segregated ice to massive ice bodies, including buried glacier ice and snowpatch ice, as well as segregated and injected ...

The Role of Ground Ice

2020
The ice content of permafrost soils has a large impact on processes that occur when permafrost thaws; exposed ground ice is the primary cause of destructive abrupt thaw processes. This chapter presents the origin of common forms of ground ice: segregation ice, ice wedges and larger ground ice bodies.

Permafrost and Ground Ice

2019
Permafrost, or perennially frozen ground, influences virtually all aspects of man's activities in the regions which it underlies. In North America, the importance of permafrost was realised only recently, when attention focused on Alaska and other northern regions during and immediately after the Second World War.

Ground-Ice Mounds in Tundra

Geographical Review, 1942
HE tundra in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions' is irregular and rough in detail but relatively featureless in broader aspect. Low, scattered mounds that interrupt the monotony attract immediate attention. Although the mounds differ in size and shape, most of them are a few feet high, many tens of feet in circumference, and gently rounded or slightly ...
