MARC recordImplications of till deformation on glacier dynamics / Martin Truffer, Keith A. Echelmeyer, William D. Harrison.
| Title: | Implications of till deformation on glacier dynamics / Martin Truffer, Keith A. Echelmeyer, William D. Harrison. |
| Author(s): | Truffer, Martin. Echelmeyer, Keith A. Harrison, William D. |
| Date: | 2001. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (2001.), Vol. 47(156) (2001) |
| Abstract: | Investigates whether current understanding of till physics sufficient to explain general features of observations made on the surface of glaciers. Uses mainly 1997 observations of water pressure and velocity and cross sectional numerical model of glacier flow. Finds treatment of till as Coulomb-plastic material sufficient, in principle, to explain velocity variations on a wide range of time scales by attributing them to changes in water pressure and till volume. Consequent transfer of drag leads to breakdown of linear depth dependence of shear stress at centre of channel. Viscous rheology inconsistent with observations on Black Rapids Glacier, Alaska. Does not find clear signature of a till layer in surface dynamics. |
