Permafrost thickness and distribution in Finnish Lapland - Results of geoelectrical soundings
Geoelectrical soundings were carried out in 29 different places in order to find permafrost and to measure its thickness. In most places above timber line a permafrost thickness of 10-50 m was recorded. Permafrost was found at sites with thin snow
The technique makes use of a microseismic timer to determine the compressional wave velocity (clast-sound velocity) in each clast of a group chosen from a single deposit. From these data a groupe mean velocity is determined that is proportional
to the age of the deposit : the youngest deposits having the highest velocities. The clast-sound velocity method can be applied to many unconsolidated bouldery deposits up to approximately one million years old.
Holocene vegetation history of the Prince William Sound region, south-central Alaska
Vegetation history during the Holocene is interpreted from the pollen and sedimentary records of nine sections of peat deposits located in sedge tundra at sites in the northern and northwestern parts of the Prince William Sound region. Basal
Combination of conventional geophysical methods for sounding the composition of rock glaciers in the Swiss Alps
The composition of rock glaciers was sounded by a combination of conventional geophysical methods near the lower limit of mountain permafrost in the Swiss Alps. P-wave velocity, direct current (DC) resistivity and year-round ground surface

Six soil profiles ranging in altitude from 30 m to 580 m at Port Underwood in the Marlborough Sounds are described, classified and discussed in terms of their morphology, chemistry and mineralogy. The profiles show distinct altitudinal patterns

During the last glacial maximum in West Antarctica separate ice caps developed on Alexander Island and on Palmer Land, became confluent in George VI Sound, and discharged northward from latitude 72 S. Radiocarbon (>32,000 yr) and amino acid
Late Wisconsinan age glacial Landforms and deposits indicate that an ice shelf of at least 60,000 km flowed northwestward into Viscount Melville Sound, probably from the M'Clintock Dome of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The ice shelf overlapped coastal

Kwinana industrial area : agglomeration economies and industrial symbiosis on Western Australia's Cockburn Sound
This article analyses the Kwinana industrial area through agglomeration economies and industrial symbiosis on Western Australia's Cockburn Sound. Firstly, it explains that its longevity results from localisation, transfer, and urbanisation economies
