Objectif(s): to continue investigating various frost-action and permafrost-related (periglacial) features and processes on Cornwallis Island; to determine the influence of glaciation on the development of the geologic landscape
Description du projet: Dr. Washburn and his team will continue the investigation into how the landscape has changed since the glaciers left 10,000 years ago. In particular, he is looking at how the effects of frost and permafrost have influenced the changes.
