Main publication details
MARC recordPressure release and glacial erosion / W.V. Lewis.
| Title: | Pressure release and glacial erosion / W.V. Lewis. |
| Author(s): | Lewis, W. V. |
| Date: | 1954. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1954.), Vol. 2(16) (1954) |
| Abstract: | Two tunnels were dug through small cirque glacier in Jotunheimen, Norway, to rock wall behind (1) névé and (2) lower glacier. Upper tunnel revealed shattering of rock wall due to freezing of melt water. Bedrock at end of lower tunnel was both smoothed and fractured. Problem was to account for fracturing of resistant gneiss when temperature remains at 0°C throughout year. |
