The AA. hypothesize that 1) many of the subhorizontally stratified deposits represent full-glacial eolian sand sheets, formed when sand supply was limited by seasonally variable combinations of ice cementation, snow cover, high groundwater tables
Hydrologic research in the permafrost region has focused mainly upon individual processes. This study integrates the various processes acting on a High Arctic drainage basin, emphasizing the roles played by the energy balance, the uneven snow cover
Summer in western Spitzbergen is caracteristic of the oceanic polar climate: temperatures most of the time are situated between 0C and 12C, frost and snow are rare, except at the beginning and the end of the season. The hostility of the climate
The snow accumulation at the surface of the Antarctic continent is practically balanced by iceberg calving. Therefore the mass and heat budgets are in equilibrium. However it may be pointed out that, owing to the time-lag of the system, a possible
