The Mechanics of Glacier Flow
The flow of valley glaciers is examined in the light of recent laboratory experiments on the behaviour of ice under load. Simple expressions are given for the velocity distributions in some cases of laminar flow, and the modification of a pure laminar flow theory necessary to explain the formation of transverse crevasses and thrust planes is considered. The paper ends with some remarks about th...
متن کاملFast correlation technique for glacier flow monitoring by digital camera and space-borne SAR images
Most of the image processing techniques have been first proposed and developed on small size images and progressively applied to larger and larger data sets resulting from new sensors and application requirements. In geosciences, digital cameras and remote sensing images can be used to monitor glaciers and to measure their surface velocity by different techniques. However, the image size and th...
متن کاملSome Comments on Glacier Flow
Drs . O rowan and Perutz have shown that glacier ice does not behave as a viscous fluid but is plastic like all crystalline materials. The present authnr discusses two observed types of ice flow :-( 1) the normal, regular streaming flow in s low-moving glaciers; (2) Block-Sclzol/en" movement in swi ftl y flowing ice. Mention is made of the shear plane or laminar flow theory of Philipp. It appea...
متن کاملSediment-moss interactions on a temperate glacier: Falljökull, Iceland
This paper presents the results of preliminary investigations of globular moss growth on the surface of Falljökull, a temperate outlet glacier of the Vatnajökull ice cap, Southern Iceland. Supraglacial debris has provided a basis for moss colonisation and several large (>500m) patches of moss growth (Racomitrium spp.) are observed on the surface of the glacier. Each area of moss-colonised supra...
متن کاملExperimental Investigation on the Deviated Sediment and Flow to Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBTs) Using Submerged Plates
Sediment Bypass Tunnels (SBTs) are deviant channels that convey the current containing sediments from the upstream of the reservoir to the downstream of the dam. In this research, by applying submerged plates on the entrance of a 90-degree diversion channel for sediment transport, the effect of hydraulic parameters of flow and changes in the angle of plates on sediment transport and deviated fl...
