Naeth, M. A., Wilkinson, S. R., Drozdowski, B. L.
Mine waste materials with potential for use in soil construction at a diamond mine in the Northwest Territories were evaluated to address physical and chemical limitations for plant establishment, growth and development. Substrates were glacial till, gravel, processed kimberlite, and 50:50 and...

Permafrost at the ice base of recent pleistocene glaciations–inferences from borehole temperature profiles
Download2012
Paleo-temperature reconstruction from precise depth (>2.0 km) well temperature logs can offer information on whether the bed of an ice sheet was frozen. Inversion or upward extrapolation of the >2-km-deep geothermal profile is the only method by which temperature evolution at the base of...

Fritsch, S., Hüttl, R.F., Boldt, K., Schneider, B.U.
To characterize the role of root growth of Lotus corniculatus L. (bird’s-foot trefoil) and Calamagrostis epigeios L. Roth (chee reed grass) in soil development during the initial stage of ecosystem genesis, the root systems of these plant species growing in soils from quaternary calcareous...
