We review the major subglacial till forming processes as presently understood by glacial
researchers and define the parameters within which tills are produced and reconcile them …

Ice streams are corridors of fast ice flow (ca. 0.8 km/year) within an ice sheet and are
responsible for discharging the majority of the ice and sediment within them. Consequently …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Data from laboratory geotechnical tests on till recovered from beneath Ice Stream B, West
Antarctica, at the Upstream B camp (hereinafter the UpB till) show that failure strength of this …

The extent and style of shear deformation in sediments beneath modern glaciers and the
geological evidence for such deformation in deposited sediments are reviewed. New …

“Till is a sediment and is perhaps more variable than any sediment known by a single
name.” RF Flint 1957 Glacial and Pleistocene Geology Tills are commonly classified …

Much discussion regarding subglacial processes is centred around the question of how soft
beds respond to ice overriding, in particular how widespread and penetrative is their …

This paper presents the outcome of a workshop, held in Berlin in February 2009, concerned
with current research on the glacial history of northern Europe, including the British Isles …

Bakaninbreen, southern Svalbard, began a prolonged surge during 1985. In 1986, an
internal reflecting horizon on radio echo sounding data was interpreted to show that the …

In ice‐sheet models, slip conditions at the base between the ice and the bed are
parameterized by a friction law. The most common relation has two poorly constrained …
