Some effects of ocean currents and wave motion on the dynamics of floating glacier tongues / Gerald Holdsworth.
Title: | Some effects of ocean currents and wave motion on the dynamics of floating glacier tongues / Gerald Holdsworth. |
Author(s): | Holdsworth, Gerald. |
Date: | 1985. |
Publisher: | Washington, DC: American Geophysical Union |
In: | Antarctic Research Series. (1985.), Vol. 43 (1985) |
Abstract: | Examines dynamics of past and present large Antarctic tongues. Discusses iceberg calving mechanisms in order to explain cases of documented calving events from glacier tongues. Concludes that ocean currents and waves both have effect on dynamics of these large tongues. |
Notes: | Antarctic Research Series. Vol. 43 :253-271 (1985). |
Keywords: | 551.32 -- Glaciology. 551.324 -- Land ice. 551.324.29 -- Land ice, miscellaneous forms. E5 -- Glaciology: land ice. (*7) -- Antarctic regions. |
