ILGRID2 (2014) low-res

We are investigating erosional and ecological processes in these deflation patches that cover 22% of the local landscape in Kangerlussuaq, West Greenland during June/July 2014. Strong katabatic winds off the Greenland Ice Sheet remove fine-grained loess soil, exposing underlying glacial till. The patch edge advances as soil and vegetation are undercut. Within patches, a biological soil crust forms, hindering future erosion and aiding soil recovery. People involved in this research include Dartmouth's Ruth Heindel from Earth Sciences, Ross Virginia from Arctic Studies and Environmental Studies, Jonathan Chipman from Geography and Earth Sciences, Becca Novello, and Phoebe Racine. This project is based on the study published by Heindel, R, Chipman, J, Virginia, R, in 2015 titled "The Spatial Distribution and Ecological Impacts of Aeolian Soil Erosion in Kangerlussuaq, West Greenland" in Ann. Assoc. Am. Geogr. 105:875-890.
