The physics of the flow of glaciers
Physics Bulletin, 1967Glaciers are among the most striking features of the scenery of high mountainous regions and in high latitudes, and the fact that the ice of which they are composed flows downhill has long been known. However, the detailed mechanisms by which this happens are still not entirely understood: for example, there is still speculation about the causes of ...

Groundwater flow and storage processes in an inactive rock glacier
Hydrological Processes, 2018Groundwater flow through coarse blocky landforms contributes to streamflow in mountain watersheds, yet its role in the alpine hydrologic cycle has received relatively little attention.

Flow Mechanism of Glaciers on Soft Beds
Science, 1995Subhourly measurements of bed deformation, bed shear strength, subglacial water pressure, and surface speed at Storglaciären, a glacier in northern Sweden, showed that the shear-strain rates of the bed decrease during periods of high water pressure and surface speed.

Effects of Basal Debris on Glacier Flow
Science, 2003Glacier movement is resisted partially by debris, either within glaciers or under glaciers in water-saturated layers. In experiments beneath a thick, sliding glacier, ice containing 2 to 11% debris exerted shear traction of 60 to 200 kilopascals on a smooth rock bed, comparable to the total shear traction beneath glaciers and contrary to the usual ...

Proceedings of the Physical Society, 1940
The internal mechanism of glacier flow has been studied by examining the crystal textures of samples of snow and ice from different parts of Alpine glaciers, and by taking strain-measurements within the glaciers themselves. The results show that under the influence of glacier flow firn, a compacted snow covering the upper regions of glaciers, is ...

A model for the flow of rock glaciers
International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 2013Abstract A constitutive model is developed for describing the response of rock glaciers that takes into account the effect of the shear rate, pressure and the volume fraction of the rocks and sand grains trapped within the interstices of the rock glacier on the viscosity of the rock glacier.

As mentioned in the introduction (Chapter 1), the size of land ice masses spans several orders of magnitude, from large ice sheets of a few thousand kilometres in diameter down to small glaciers of a few hundreds of metres in length. Consequently, the scaling given for ice sheets in Chapter 5 [Eqs.

The mass of ice varies along the length of a glacier because of the accumulation of snow in its upper regions and the ablation of ice in the lower regions. This mass change brings about variable speeds of flow and complex streamlines. General equations are derived using a type of plug flow for ice for the following: (1) glaciers of constant arbitrarily

As a geophysical fluid dynamics phenomenon, glacier motion has features in common with some of the other terrestrial and planetary flows considered in this book, but it also has a number of special features that give it a character of its own. It can be compared to mantle flow and convection: both involve slow flow of essentially incompressible fluids ...

Glacier flow estimation by SAR image correlation
IEEE International IEEE International IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2004. IGARSS '04. Proceedings. 2004, 2004The Shirase Glacier is the largest in the Lutzow Holm Bay and is well known as the fastest-flowing ice stream in Antarctica. Although several attempts have been made to measure ice flow velocities of the glacier using ground measurements and remotely sensed data, continuous measurement over a long period has been impossible due to severe environmental ...
