Structural Evolution During Cyclic Glacier Surges: 1. Structural Glaciology of Trapridge Glacier, Yukon, Canada [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 2019 Interpreting the relationships among the internal processes of glaciers and their mesoscale structural products has been a long‐standing challenge for glaciologists. Trapridge Glacier is a small polythermal surge‐type valley glacier that has been studied for 40 years. It offers an opportunity to investigate the structural evolution of a glacier through

The structural glaciology of southwest Antarctic Peninsula Ice Shelves (ca. 2010)
Journal of Maps, 2013 The Antarctic Peninsula has recently seen a rapid breakup of its peripheral ice shelves, attributed to atmospheric and oceanic warming in the region. Previous work has illustrated that the final breakup mechanisms are often controlled by the structural glaciology of the ice shelf, and thus understanding the structure of the remaining ‘stable’ ice ...

The Structural Glaciology of a Temperate Valley Glacier: Haut Glacier d'Arolla, Valais, Switzerland
Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2005 Abstract This paper describes the structural glaciology of Haut Glacier d'Arolla, a small valley glacier fed by two distinct accumulation basins in the Swiss Alps. A considerable body of field data is presented alongside observations from ground and aerial photographs.

Recent structural evolution of Forni Glacier tongue (Ortles-Cevedale Group, Central Italian Alps)
Journal of Maps, 2017 Structural glaciology yields important details about the evolution of glacier dynamics in response to climate change. The maps provided here document the occurrence and evolution of brittle and ductile structures on the tongue of Forni Glacier, Ortles ...

Internal structure of a Himalayan debris-covered glacier revealed by borehole optical televiewing
Journal of Glaciology, 2023 Characterising the structures within glaciers can give unique insight into ice motion processes. On debris-covered glaciers, traditional structural glaciological mapping is challenging because the lower glacier is hidden by the supraglacial debris layer.

Concentrated, ‘pulsed’ axial glacier flow: structural glaciological evidence from Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland [PDF]
Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2017 AbstractA detailed structural glaciological study carried out on Kvíárjökull in SE Iceland reveals that recent flow within this maritime glacier is concentrated within a narrow corridor located along its central axis. This active corridor is responsible for feeding ice from the accumulation zone on the south‐eastern side of Öræfajökull to the lower ...

The structural glaciology of Kongsvegen, Svalbard, and its role in landform genesis [PDF]
Journal of Glaciology, 1998 AbstractMapping of the structural glaciology of Kongsvegen, Svalbard, reveals evidence for four main deformational structures. These are stratification, longitudinal foliation, thrusts and crevasse traces. These structures are considered in terms of their contribution to debris entrainment, transport and subsequent landform development.
