Erosion by an Alpine glacier.
Assessing the impact of glaciation on Earth's surface requires understanding glacial erosion processes. Developing erosion theories is challenging because of the complex nature of the erosion processes and the difficulty of examining the ice/bedrock interface of contemporary glaciers. We demonstrate that the glacial erosion rate is proportional to the ice-sliding velocity squared, by quantifyin...
متن کاملGeological and Geochemical Features of Alborz Basin Coal Deposits, Iran
The Alborz coal basin is located in northern part of Iran. The coal deposits of Shahrood in eastern Alborz, Zirab in central Alborz and Abyek in western Alborz were studied as typical coalfields of the basin. Shemshak Formation which is the main coal-bearing sequence was formed during the Triassic-Jurassic in the basin. It consists of sandstone, siltstone, shale and claystone, which variedly al...
متن کاملRapid subglacial erosion beneath Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica
[1] We present measurements of ice thickness, gravimetry and surface elevation on Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica, separated by a period of 49 years. At one station, on the main trunk of the glacier we measured a surface elevation lowering with no significant change in ice thickness. We interpret these as indicating subglacial erosion of 31.8 13.4 m at this location, at a mean rate over th...
متن کاملshale geological features of qiujiahe (є1q) and longmaxi (s1ln) formation
the main purpose of this research paper is to compare qiujiahe formation (є1q) and longmaxi formation (s1ln) in north sichuan basin where shale gas exploration has not been fully researched, and hence represents the possibility of shale gas concentration under the complex geological conditions. based on valid laboratorial analysis, there are optimistic prospects for є1q and s1ln of research are...
متن کاملInvestigation of Some Methodologies in Providing Erosion Maps of Surface, Rill and Gully and Erosion Features
Some methodologies were compared in providing erosion maps of surface, rill and gully and erosion features, in research which took place in the Varamin sub-basin, north-east Tehran, Iran. A photomorphic unit map was produced from processed satellite images, and four other maps were prepared by the integration of different data layers, including slope, plant cover, geology, land use, rocks erodi...
