Description :
Re-surveys of surviving mass-wasting target lines established by A.L. Washburn in the late 1950s in the Mester Vig area, northeast Greenland, are used to derive estimates of long-term mass wasting in the area. These long-term rates suggest a general increase in the rate of mass wasting in the Mesters Vig area ove the last 40 years. This increase may be related to a general pattern of climatic amelioration for the east coast of Greenland.
