Main publication details
MARC recordOn the sliding of glaciers / Johannes Weertman.
| Title: | On the sliding of glaciers / Johannes Weertman. |
| Author(s): | Weertman, Johannes. |
| Date: | 1957. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1957.), Vol. 3(21) (1957) |
| Abstract: | Proposes model to explain sliding of any glacier whose bottom is at pressure-melting point. Two mechanisms are considered: pressure melting and creep-rate enhancement through stress concentrations. Neither mechanism alone is sufficient to explain sliding, but if both operate together, appreciable sliding can occur. |
| Notes: | Journal of Glaciology. Vol. 3(21) :33-38 (1957). |
| Keywords: | 551.32 -- Glaciology. 551.324 -- Land ice. 551.324.22 -- Glaciers. 551.324.51 -- Land ice, theory of flow. |
