The surface of ice exhibits the swath of phase-transition phenomena common to all
materials and as such it acts as an ideal test bed of both theory and experiment. It is readily …

▪ Abstract Processes operating beneath glaciers can have a greater influence on flow
dynamics than those operating within them. The variety and complexity of these processes …

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 …

The analysis of climate change impact on the hydrology of high altitude glacierized
catchments in the Himalayas is complex due to the high variability in climate, lack of data …

The third edition of this successful textbook will supply advanced undergraduate and
graduate students with the tools they need to understand modern glaciological research …

Glacier-erosion rates range across orders of magnitude, and much of this variation cannot
be attributed to basal sliding rates. Subglacial till acts as lubricating 'fault gouge'or 'sawdust' …

High Asian glacial landscapes have large variations in topographic relief and the size and
steepness of snow accumulation areas. Associated differences in glacial cover and …

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 …

A multi‐proxy approach involving a study of sediment architecture, grain size, grain
roundness and crushing index, petrographic and clay mineral composition, till fabric and till …

Fast-flowing ice streams occur within modern ice sheets and also operated in Pleistocene
ice sheets. The reconstruction of palaeo-ice streams normally relies on the map** of mega …
