MARC recordGlacial octahedron / Stephen R. Hicock.
| Title: | Glacial octahedron / Stephen R. Hicock. |
| Author(s): | Hicock, Stephen R. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (1993.), Vol. 75A(1-2) (1993) |
| Abstract: | Presents conceptual diagram that aids in visualizing glacial processes and their effects. Applied to subglacial processes and products, with ice, water, and till-forming processes occupying six corners of octahedron. Symbols plotted within octahedron represent relative importance of processes/products involved. Bent arrows within diagram trace history of processes/effects at site or area. Octahedron emphasizes glacial processes/products as transitional interrelated phenomena within continuum rather than as end-members. Two examples demonstrate contrasting uses of octahedron: subglacial history of two lobe complexes at margin of Laurentide ice sheet, and changing depositional settings during cyclic marinal grounding of tidewater glacier. |
