Abstract
⺠Scalloped depressions occur in an ice-rich permafrost. ⺠We propose that scalloped depressions reveal tilted sedimentary layers. ⺠The 52 studied layers have different shallow dips. ⺠The layers show different resistance to degradation due to different ice-content. ⺠The permafrost stratification is complex and indicative of eolian sediments.
