An assessment of surge-induced crevassing and the formation of crevasse squeeze ridges [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2011 [1] Evidence for extensive crevassing is preserved on the deglaciated forelands of many surging glaciers as crevasse squeeze ridges (CSRs). At some point these crevasses make direct connection with the bed in order to become sediment filled, and full-depth connections have been inferred from turbid water up-wellings in crevasses and the formation of ...

Crevasse effects on glacier surface temperature from thermal imagery
Journal of GlaciologyThermal imagery was collected for 26 hours over a crevassed region within the accumulation zone of the Haupapa/Tasman Glacier, New Zealand. During the night, the imaged snow surfaces associated with crevasses cooled slower than non-crevassed surfaces ...

Geological Journal, EarlyView.This study reveals that the underexplored Benin Basin features a narrow shelf and steep slope, which promoted the development of multi‐phase, stacked channel‐lobe complexes. These gravity flow deposits, further enhanced by bottom current reworking, reveal a significant undiscovered Upper Cretaceous stratigraphic play with considerable petroleum ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Enamel hypoplasia results from temporary disruptions of enamel deposition during tooth development. It is widely used as an indicator of physiological stress in archeological and paleontological contexts; yet, its relationship with environmental conditions during tooth formation remains poorly constrained.

Electromagnetic Sounding of Bottom Crevasses on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
, 1979 During the 1976—77 season of the Ross Ice Shelf Geophysical and Glaciological Survey, a series of vertical electromagnetic sounding profiles of subsurface features was completed at station J-9.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Field Studies of Bottom Crevasses in the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica
, 1983 Surface and airborne radar sounding data were used to identify and map fields of bottom crevasses on the Ross Ice Shelf. Two major concentrations of crevasses were found, one along the grid-eastern grounding line and another, made up of eight smaller ...

Aoraki Mount Cook: Environmental Change on an Iconic Mountaineering Route
Mountain Research and Development, 2018 Aoraki Mount Cook is New Zealand's highest mountain and a popular destination for climbers. This study combined historical accounts, photos, and geophysical surveys with modern-day spatial analysis, popular narratives, and interviews to explore how ...

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deep‐water slope channels and associated facies are a major part of clastic sediment dispersal system extending from the shelf‐edge to the abyssal plain. The toe‐thrust area of the deep‐water Niger Delta enables the analysis of these channels and their interaction with evolving fault‐controlled sea‐floor topography to be determined ...

Processes of crevasse formation and the dynamics of calving glaciers : a study at Breiđamerkurjökull [PDF]
, 2009 A new model proposed by Benn et al. (2006, 2007) explains the dynamics of calving glaciers based on a new sliding law and a calving criterion modified from a crevasse depth model. In this thesis three key elements of this model are tested: 1) the role
