Modelling of ice‐wedge networks
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 2008AbstractThe 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 ...

The AMS dating of pollen from syngenetic ice?wedge ice
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2004Abstract The features of pollen occurrence in ice–wedge ice such as: size of pollen of tundra plants, incoming pollen into frost cracks together with melt water, dust and partially from host sediment and also clay envelopes around pollen grains caused the pretreatment methods of ice–wedge ice samples.

Ice wedges in south-eastern Finland
Geologiska Föreningen i Stockholm Förhandlingar, 1968Abstract 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 ...

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.

Life at the Wedge: the Activity and Diversity of Arctic Ice Wedge Microbial Communities
Astrobiology, 2012The 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 ...

ICE‐WEDGE CRACKS, WESTERN ARCTIC COAST
Canadian Geographies / Géographies canadiennes, 1989SummaryIce‐wedge ice is one of the most abundant types of nearly pure ground ice to be found along the western Arctic coast and, indeed, in many other permafrost areas of the world. Ice wedges grow because thermal contraction cracks open in winter and become infilled with water in spring to form incremental ice veinlets.

Involutions and Ice-Wedges in Devon
Nature, 1961RELICT periglacial phenomena have been recorded from south-west England for more than two hundred years. Reference has been made to head, clitter, rubble drift, loessic deposits and other manifestations of mechanical rock-weathering and ablation of debris under sub-arctic conditions1, to geomorphological features which resemble actively developing ...

Ice wedges of the Dalton Highway, Alaska
Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 2001North 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.
