Main publication details
MARC recordPrinciples of glacier mechanics / Roger LeB. Hooke.
| Title: | Principles of glacier mechanics / Roger LeB. Hooke. |
| Author(s): | Hooke, Roger LeB. |
| Date: | 2005. |
| Publisher: | Cambridge: Cambridge University Press |
| Abstract: | Graduate level text, with chapters covering: why study glaciers?; basic concepts; mass balance; flow and fracture of a crystalline material; velocity field in a glacier; temperature distribution in polar ice sheets; coupling between a glacier and its bed; water flow in and under glaciers - geomorphic implications; stress and deformation; stress and velocity distribution in an idealized glacier; numerical modelling; applications of stress and deformation principles to classical problems; finite strain and the origin of foliation; and response of glaciers to changes in mass balance. Emphasises connections between modern research and origin of glacial landscape features. Includes student excercises. |
