references to thermal blister buckling

Apologies, I forgot to provide the references used in the previous blog. I regret they all seem to have emerged from a single author, but he does seem to be the only one recognising that similar processes might be occurring in areas other than the development of ice rings.

These were the ones used in my previous blog:

and these might be of related interest:

It is noticeable that apart from conference papers most of the above publications appear in engineering or mechanics journals. One wonders why the material dealing with permafrost and periglacial processes has not been able to see the light of day in the more specialist journals in these fields?
