Mountain Geography
Mountains cover a quarter of the Earth’s land surface and a quarter of the global population lives in or adjacent to these areas. The global importance of mountains is recognized particularly because they provide critical resources, such as water, food and wood; contain high levels of biological and cultural diversity; and are often places for tourism and recreation and/or of sacred significance. This major revision of Larry Price’s book Mountain…

Multi-Decadal Changes in Tundra Environments and Ecosystems
Hedges and Shelterbelts on the Canterbury Plains, New Zealand
Hedges and shelterbelts on the Canterbury Plains of New Zealand extend for a combined length of almost 300,000 km (180,000 mi). This network of living fences and windbreaks was initiated in the 1850s when the area was settled as an experiment in English colonization. The colonists juxtaposed images of an antipodean utopia with the reality of a droughty and windy plains. In their attempt to “tame the wilderness,” they introduced a wide array of el…

Radiocarbon Dating of the Rate of Movement of Two Solifluction Lobes in the Ruby Range, Yukon Territory
The rates of solifluction of two lobes in the Ruby Range have been determined by 14 C dates of samples taken from buried organic layers in the lobes. Twenty-one dates are available from one lobe, and seven from another. When plotted against distance back from control points at the lobe fronts the dates show considerable scatter. In part the scatter is thought to be due to a potential age range of 340 ± 100 yr in the organic layers. Linear and pol…
Origin and Significance of Wet Spots on Scraped Surfaces in the High Arctic
In the western Queen Elizabeth Islands, Northwest Territories, where most of the petroleum exploration in the High Arctic is being conducted, much of the low lying land is covered with sorted and non-sorted circles and polygons 0.5-2.0 m in diameter. ... Much of the oil-camp construction takes place on the coastal low-lands on polygonal surfaces composed of sandy to silty loams. When these surfaces are scraped and reworked for camp areas and air …
The Developmental Cycle of Solifluction Lobes∗
The form and character of soli fluction lobes in the Ruby Range, Yukon Territory suggest the outlines of a developmental cycle. Small lobes have relatively steep narrow fronts, and late snow melt areas that are completely vegetated, with few rocks. Large lobes have gentler wider fronts, and late snow melt areas that are bare and rocky with poorly developed vegetation. The difference between lobes results from increased snow accumulation in the le…
The Local Ecological Effect of Long Tailed Jaegers Nesting in the Subarctic
While carrying out geomorphological field work in the Ruby Range, Yukon Territory ... during the summers of 1967 and 1968, an extension of the known breeding grounds of the long tailed jaeger (Stercorarius longicaudus) was observed. A pair of these birds nested on the same southeast-facing slope both years and their presence affected the local ecology in significant ways. For example, they maintained a constant vigil and promptly chased away any …
The Collapse of Solifluction Lobes as a Factor in Vegetating Blockfields
In the Ruby Mt area of southwestern Yukon, tongues and islands of vegetation occur in certain blockfields, which through normal processes develop soil and vegetation only very slowly, due to a lack of near-surface water and great diurnal temperature extremes during summer. The collapse occurs when the lobes move from the meadow onto the steeper slope of the blockfield where composition of vegetation changes and where there is a deeper active laye…
