Periglacial patterned ground on the Styggedalsbreen glacier foreland, Jotunheimen, southern Norway: Micro-topographic, paraglacial and geoecological controls (1998)
Journal Article

Several types of periglacial patterned ground have developed rapidly in the frost-susceptible sediments of degraded 'annual' moraines deposited between c. AD 1930 and 1973 on the glacier foreland of Styggedalsbreen, western Jotunheimen, Norway. Detai...
