Pingos and other Periglacial Geomorphology

SCI-0#             Session I: Feb. 11, 18, 25, March 3

Tuesdays 2:30 – 3:45 pm

Water is one of the most amazing and abundant molecules in the Universe. It can be present in all phases, solid, liquid, and gas. Learn about water-ice interactions and the landscapes and patterns those interactions produce. We will focus on periglacial landscapes and their origins in Alaska, polar regions, and other planets.

Instructor Kenji Yoshikawa is a professor in UAF’s Water and Environmental Research Center (WERC). He is actively engaged in geophysical, geothermal, hydrologic and permafrost research throughout Alaska and other Arctic and Antarctic as well as tropical high mountain permafrost.
