Author: Arthur H. Lachenbruch
From the original catalog copy: A study of ice-wedge polygons and ice wedges which are present throughout many thousands of square miles of Arctic terrain in terms of physical theory. The ice wedges have mechanical and thermal manifestations that can profoundly affect the geomorphic and biologic processes that mold the Arctic landscape.; they play a central role in engineering problems that arise when this landscape is modified.
A more detailed understanding of the origin of ice wedges can be expected to yield greater insight into the natural history of the Arctic tundra and into other problems.
