| dc.description | UAG R-234; Alaska Sea Grant Report No. 75-3; Scientific Report; Summary: The coastal erosion process has been examined for the northern Alaskan coast for the purpose of developing a conceptual model of off-shore permafrost. A series of as many as five stages of coastal erosion, which are characterized by different thermal and chemical boundary conditions, are necessary to describe the physical setting of the offshore permafrost. The seasonal variations of the thermal and chemical boundary conditions are discussed and it is suggested that these varying boundary conditions can be incorporated into a model of offshore permafrost consisting of the generalized transport equations from non-equilibrium thermodynamics, by successive application of the transport equations to the five stages experienced by a vertical soil profile during the erosion process. | en_US |
