| Summary | This research investigates retrogressive thaw slump processes on Peninsula Point—a well-studied site for intra-sedimental massive ice in the Western Canadian Arctic. Utilizing high-resolution topographic data from drone surveys in 2016, 2017 and 2018 we (a) measure the temporal and spatial variations in headwall properties and retreat rates, (b) determine the spatial pattern of subsurface layering using passive seismic monitoring and (c) combine these to analyze and contextualize the factors controlling headwall retreat (HWR) rates. |
| Local Relevance | This research investigates retrogressive thaw slump properties near Tuktoyaktuk, NWT. |
