Drainage karstique en milieu de pergélisol: le cas de l'ǐle d'akpatok, T.N.O. Canada

Abstract: L'ǐle étudiée, située au nord‐ouest de la baie d'Ungava, est formée de calcaires ordoviciens qui reposent en strates subhorizontales sur le socle archéen. Des observations sur le terrain et sur des photos‐aériennes ont révélé que le drainage souterrain est trés important, malgré le fait que la température moyenne annuelle d'environ −7 °C implique un pergélisol profond. L'eau issue de la fonte nivale printanière pénétre dans les fissures, et dans les dolines aux fonds des dépressions associèes aux lacs. Cette d… Show more

“…Karstification is possible where heat is transmitted from below into the karst (Van Everdingen, 1981), where there are surface streams (Ford and Williams, 2007), or salty ground waters (Pollard et al, 1999). Karstification may also occur at steep cliff walls (Lauriol and Gray, 2006), on terrains with breccia (Ford, 2004) and where snow meltwater flows on bare surfaces. According to the above mentioned things, there are karren on bare surfaces, while caprock dolines occur can be found on evaporate areas.…”

“…Water could have occurred only within taliks, which corresponded to the layer between seasonal and perennial permafrost, as well as to the zones of inherited water circulation within zones of secondary permeability and tectonic faulting (Kudriavcev 1978;Gurney 1998;Wu et al 2004Wu et al , 2005. Lauriol and Gray (1990) propose a model of water circulation in a karstified carbonate massif in the modern permafrost zone. They assume a possibility of gravitational vertical flow of meltwater along active tectonic faults-from the ground surface to the underlying permafrost aquifers (the permafrost bottom is the top of the phreatic surface).…”
