| Title: | Sedimentary and tectonic development of a high-Arctic, thrust- moraine complex: Comfortlessbreen, Svalbard / David Huddart, Michael J. Hambrey. |
| Author(s): | Huddart, David. Hambrey, Michael J. |
| Date: | 1996. |
| In: | Boreas. (1996.), Vol. 25(4) (1996) |
| Abstract: | Glaciotectonic processes that have shaped morphology and structural geology of Comfortlessbreen complex are shown to be largely proglacial in origin, with development of low-angle thrusts, nappe-like structures and folds. Deformation has extended into glacier foreland. Style of deformation explains incorporation of sub-glacial debris into ice. Model for thrust- moraine development and its possible chronology emphasizes role of sediment in facilitating deformation and role of thrusting rather than pushing. Comparison is made with neighbouring Uversbreen. |
