Ice wedges as archives of winter paleoclimate: A review [PDF]

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2018
AbstractIce wedges are a characteristic feature of northern permafrost landscapes and grow mainly by snowmelt that refreezes in thermal contraction cracks that open in winter. In high latitudes the stable‐isotope composition of precipitation (δ18O and δD) is sensitive to air temperature. Hence, the integrated climate information of winter precipitation

Wedge impact with the influence of ice [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research, 2019
Abstract This work presents a canonical study on a wedge entering water near a single piece of ice using computational-fluid-dynamics (CFD) and a Wagner-type theoretical model with corrections for non-linear effects. Calculations for a series of conditions with ice of different sizes and locations relative to the wedge are conducted. The hydrodynamic

Life at the Wedge: the Activity and Diversity of Arctic Ice Wedge Microbial Communities

Astrobiology, 2012
The discovery of polygonal terrain on Mars underlain by ice heightens interest in the possibility that this water-bearing habitat may be, or may have been, a suitable habitat for extant life. The possibility is supported by the recurring detection of terrestrial microorganisms in subsurface ice environments, such as ice wedges found beneath tundra ...

Modelling of ice‐wedge networks

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2008
AbstractThe fundamental and dominant process operating in all ice‐wedge networks is thermal contraction fracturing. This assumption forms the basis of a numerical model combining fracture initiation and propagation in frozen ground and ice, influence of open fractures on stresses, growth of ice wedges and ground deformation above wedges (Plug and ...

Ice wedges in south-eastern Finland

Geologiska Föreningen i Stockholm Förhandlingar, 1968
Abstract Ice wedge casts, the biggest 1.5 m deep, were found in stratified sand and gravel in sections in the Salpausselka I end-moraine in eastern Finland. Their distribution suggests that they were formed in the end of the Late Weichselian Younger Dryas period and possibly in early Flandrian time, which agrees with the dating of the youngest ice ...

Ice wedges of the Dalton Highway, Alaska

Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 2001
North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968 at Prudhoe Bay; it contained over ten billion barrels of recoverable oil about 3000 m beneath the Arctic Coastal Plain. Its development changed Alaska’s economy for ever, and included building the oil pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez.

RELICT ICE-WEDGE POLYGONS

Geografisk Tidsskrift-Danish Journal of Geography, 1976
Svensson, Harald, 1976; Relict ice-wedge polygons revealed on aerial photographs from Kaltenkirchen, northern Germany. Geografisk Tidsskrift 75: 8–12. Kobenhavn, juni 1, 1976. On aerial photographs polygonal patterns are detected in cultivated fields due to vegetational contrasts.
