| Abstract: | 29 composite ridges (push moraines) have been identified at glacier snouts in Spitsbergen. Each comprises series of individual ridge forms, arcuate in plan, marking all or part of position of glacier margin and limit reached during recent (surge) advance. Landforms are proglacial and composed of several lithological units (silts, sands, clays). No ridge complex in Spitsbergen is associated with non-surging glacier. Not all surging glaciers develop large push-ridge complexes. At present, 98 glaciers have been identified to have surged in their known or "visible" history. Of these, 20 terminate in deep-water fjords or open water, and any push-ridge forms are yet to be found; 13 terminate in steeply sloping valleys, which inhibits push-ridge complex development; and 36 glacier termini have yet to be investigated. |
