Scottish late-glacial moraines: debris supply, genesis and significance [PDF]
, 2012 A variety of moraine forms were deposited by glaciers during the Loch Lomond Stadial. Study of such moraines and related landforms provides a valuable source of data on patterns of landscape evolution and climatic change. This thesis presents detailed

Subglacial deformation and till formation in a stratigraphic complex Late Pleistocene sequence (Einödgraben/Aurach, Kitzbühel Alps, Austria) [PDF]
Eiszeitalter und GegenwartKnowledge of subglacial conditions is of great relevance in understanding glacier dynamics. A combination of micro- and macrosedimentological analysis of diamictons and deformation structures can form the basis for the reconstruction of past subglacial ...

Preliminary assessment of variability of selected Hardening Soil model parameters for glacial tills and clays from Poland [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2019 Typical ranges of variability of basic soil parameters are relatively well known. Such knowledge is important to aid engineers in the selection of characteristic values for design or as a basis for conducting sensitivity analyses for more complex soil ...

Characteristics of the deforming bed: till properties on the deglaciated Antarctic continental shelf
Journal of Glaciology, 2018 Contemporary ice stream flow is directly linked to conditions at the ice/bed interface, yet this environment is logistically difficult to access.

Anisotropy and cyclic loading characteristics of a stiff Bolders Bank glacial till at Cowden [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesGlacial tills are widespread across the world, common in northern Europe and found under the North and Baltic Seas. Their geological and geotechnical characterisation is important to the geotechnical design of a wide range of onshore and offshore ...

SPM Effect in Glacial Till [PDF]
ASEG Extended Abstracts, 2015 SUMMARY The SPM effect is not traditionally associated with glacial tills. However, effects of viscous magnetization, i.e. superparamagnetism, are observed in many places in Northern Finland in high sensitivity and low frequency time domain ground EM surveys.

The Depositional Record, 2019 Investigations of glacial sediment exposures in a former open pit in the Pine Point Mining District, Northwest Territories, reveal evidence of changes in stress magnitude as exhibited by the movement of deformation ‘fronts’ within subglacial tills, as ...

Sediment behavior controls equilibrium width of subglacial channels
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 Flow-frictional resistance at the base of glaciers and ice sheets is strongly linked to subglacial water pressure. Understanding the physical mechanisms that govern meltwater fluxes in subglacial channels is hence critical for constraining variations in ...

Expansivity of Neogene clays and glacial tills from Central Poland [PDF]
, 2014 The revision of classification methodologies for determination of soil expansivity revealed that parameters most frequently used for this purpose are: the liquid limit, plasticity index and swelling parameters which also predominate in older systems of ...
