MARC recordNotes on till and moraine formation at some Heard Island glaciers / Jan Lundqvist.
| Title: | Notes on till and moraine formation at some Heard Island glaciers / Jan Lundqvist. |
| Author(s): | Lundqvist, Jan. |
| Date: | 1988. |
| In: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. (1988.), Vol. 70A(3) (1988) |
| Abstract: | Brief observations made in January 1987 indicated that, in glaciers studied, basal movements have little erosive effect. Erosion with up-transport of debris occurs mainly at transition from steeper to lower gradients. Moraines formed there may contain basal till. In other locations, moraines are formed mainly of supraglacial debris from rockfalls or wind transport. Moraine sediments are mainly waterlaid or debris flows and, in places, possibly flow till. |
| Notes: | Geografiska Annaler. Series A. Physical Geography. Vol. 70A(3) :225-234 (1988). |
