A crystallographic investigation of glacier structure and the mechanism of glacier flow [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1939 Abstract 1. Introduction (a) The transition of firn into glacier ice; glacier structure Glaciers are divided into two main parts: the accumulation area, firn region or névé where the annual accumulation in the form of snow exceeds the loss by melting, evaporation and wind erosion, and the ablation area or glacier tongue.

Flow and structure in a dendritic glacier with bedrock steps
Journal of Glaciology, 2017 We analyse ice flow and structural glaciology of Shackleton Glacier, a dendritic glacier with multiple icefalls in the Canadian Rockies. A major tributary-trunk junction allows us to investigate the potential of tributaries to alter trunk flow and ...

The flow of a polythermal glacier: McCall Glacier, Alaska, U.S.A. [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1997 AbstractWe have analyzed the flow of polythermal McCall Glacier in Arctic Alaska. Using measurements of surface velocity from the 1970s and 1990s, together with measurements of ice thickness and surface slope, we have investigated both the present flow and seasonal and long-term flow variations.

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1987 An AGU Chapman Conference on Fast Glacier Flow was held at Whistler Village, Canada, from May 4 to 8, 1986. The timing of the conference seemed particularly propitious because of results of recent observational programs, such as the breakup of the tidewater Columbia Glacier in Alaska, the imbalance of Ice Stream B in Antarctica and the existence of ...

Spectral roughness of glaciated bedrock geomorphic surfaces: Implications for glacier sliding [PDF]
, 2000 A microroughness meter (MRM) was used to measure the high-frequency roughness of a number of geomorphic surfaces in the forefield of Glacier de Tsanfleuron, Switzerland.

Natural Hazards ResearchGlacier debris flow is becoming increasingly severe as global warming intensifies. To minimize the catastrophic losses caused by glacier debris flow, it is essential to analyze the susceptibility of glacier debris flow.

Origin and significance of 'dispersed facies' basal ice: Svínafellsjökull, Iceland [PDF]
, 2010 Dispersed facies basal ice - massive (i.e. structureless) ice with dispersed debris aggregates - is present at the margins of many glaciers and, as a product of internal glacial processes, has the potential to provide important information about the ...
