Effect of bedrock and sedimentary environment on properties of glacial deposits in south Spitsbergen / Adam Chiński, Anna Stankowska, Wojciech Stankowski.
Title: | Effect of bedrock and sedimentary environment on properties of glacial deposits in south Spitsbergen / Adam Chiński, Anna Stankowska, Wojciech Stankowski. |
Author(s): | Chiński, Adam. Stankowska, Anna. Stankowski, Wojciech. |
Date: | 1985/1986 [pub.1990] |
In: | Quaestiones Geographicae. (1985/1986 [pub.1990]), Vol. 11/12 (1985/1986 [pub.1990]) |
Abstract: | Direct field observations, results of particle-size distribution and analyses of carbonate content show that till on Spitsbergen is derived from detritus released from varied underlying bedrock. Roundness of quartz grains is indicative of slight heterogeneity. No differences in qualitative composition of clay minerals contained in land and marine deposits. This data and results of earlier till studies indicated that tills are polygenetic and that diagenesis was important in bringing about their alteration. |
Notes: | Quaestiones Geographicae. Vol. 11/12 :53-66 (1985/1986 [pub.1990]). |
