Main publication details
MARC recordRock glaciers in Svalbard: tentative dating and inferred long-term velocities / Marie-Françoise André.
| Title: | Rock glaciers in Svalbard: tentative dating and inferred long-term velocities / Marie-Françoise André. |
| Author(s): | André, Marie-Françoise, |
| Date: | 1994. |
| In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (1994.), Vol. 76A(4) (1994) |
| Abstract: | Long-term approach based on detailed mapping and lichenometry provides additional information concerning talus-foot rock glaciers overstepping raised beaches in Svalbard. Regional distribution is primarily controlled by tectonic pattern and by network of major thrusting faults. Tentative dating suggests that rock glacier formation started c.3500 BP, i.e. during initial phase of Neoglacial cooling period following Atlantic optimum. Author gives average rates of movement and compares them with similar monitoring in 80s. Debris grading is unexplained. |
