Glacier surge mechanism: 1982-1983 surge of variegated glacier, alaska.
The hundredfold speedup in glacier motion in a surge of the kind the kind that took place in Variegated Glacier in 1982-1983 is caused by the buildup of high water pressure in the basal passageway system, which is made possible by a fundamental and pervasive change in the geometry and water-transport characteristics of this system. The behavior of the glacier in surge has many remarkable featur...
متن کاملHolocene glacier fluctuations
A global overview of glacier advances and retreats (grouped by regions and by millennia) for the Holocene is compiled from previous studies. The reconstructions of glacier fluctuations are based on 1) mapping and dating moraines defined by 14C, TCN, OSL, lichenometry and tree rings (discontinuous records/time series), and 2) sediments from proglacial lakes and speleothems (continuous records/ t...
متن کاملRheology of glacier ice.
A new method for calculating the stress field in bounded ice shelves is used to compare strain rate and deviatoric stress on the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. The analysis shows that strain rate (per second) increases as the third power of deviatoric stress (in newtons per square meter), with a constant of proportionality equal to 2.3 x 10(-25).
متن کاملReconstruction Glacier Circus in volcanic craters (Case study Kurdistan Qorveh)
Extended abstract Introduction The attention of forefront foreign researchers has focused on glacier circus. Glacial cirque is the most important pattern of glacial erosion. Deep depressions with steep walls, flat floor or low slope, half-bowl shaped (crescent shaped) are created at high altitudes in the mountains margin by the erosion of mountain glacier (Ahmadi, Feiznia, 2012). Th...
متن کاملA Theory of Glacier Surges
We propose a model of glacier flow for at least a hundred years, and a major conthat is capable of explaining temperate glacier ference (see Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, surges. The laws of conservation of mass and vol. 6, pp. 807-1018, 1969) was devoted to their momentum are supplemented by the prescription study. Meier and Post [1969] summed up many of of a sliding law that gives the b...
