Cryogenic processes evidenced in thin sections (Fox
1985
)
Cryogenic processes include frost heaving, cryoturbation, dilatancy, cryodes-
iccation, and ice segregation, each of which will be discussed in the following
sections. Detailed reviews of these processes have been provided by Tedrow
(
1977
), Washburn (
1980
), Yershov and Williams (
2004
), French (
2007
); van Vliet-
