Main publication details
MARC recordThe formation and dynamics of glaciers / Michael Kuhn.
| Title: | The formation and dynamics of glaciers / Michael Kuhn. |
| Author(s): | Kuhn, Michael. |
| Date: | 2010. |
| Publisher: | London: Taylor & Francis |
| In: | Remote sensing of glaciers : techniques for topographic, spatial and thematic mapping of glaciers. (2010.), |
| Abstract: | Outlines glacier flow and mass balance, covering: conditions for glacier formation; climate of today's glacier environment; accumulation and formation of glacier ice; energy balance and ablation; mass balance definitions and key parameters; ice flow; mass balance determination (geodetic, direct glaciological, dynamic (balance) velocity, and hydrological methods); and debris cover and moraines. Illustrates with examples from Austrian Alps (mainly Hintereisferner) and Engabreen, Norway. |
