Geographic factors and geocryological activity in Livingston Island, Antarctic. Preliminary results
The study presents results from the geomorphological mapping of geocryological phenomena on the northwest sector of Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island, including frost- shattered debris, talus slopes, stonebanked lobes, rockglaciers and patterned ground. Results are integrated in a GIS and compared t...

| Summary: | The study presents results from the geomorphological mapping of geocryological phenomena on the northwest sector of Hurd Peninsula, Livingston Island, including frost- shattered debris, talus slopes, stonebanked lobes, rockglaciers and patterned ground. Results are integrated in a GIS and compared to data on altitude, slope angle, aspect and calculated summer net radiation. They show a generally poor influence of the studied climate-related variables, a fact that may be related to the particular climatic characteristics [...] |
