Description :
The distribution of segregated ice and soluble ions in near-surface permafrost were investigated in hummocky terrain near Inuvik. The purposes of this paper are : to present the profiles of ice content in near-surface permafrost from the site; to determine the rates of moisture migration into permafrost at the site; to describe the geochemical characteristics of the active layer and near surface permafrost; and to estimate moisture and cation contributions to the base of the active layer during periods of permafrost degradation.
