[ED: Hardcover], [PU: CAMBRIDGE UNIV PR], Short description/annotation
New edition of successful textbook for advanced students and reference book for practising glaciologists.
Main description
This book provides students and practising glaciologists with the tools they need to understand modern glaciology. Relatively simple concepts are introduced first, followed by mathematically more sophisticated chapters. A knowledge of basic calculus is assumed, but important concepts of physical processes are developed from elementary principles. Emphasis is placed on connections between modern research in glaciology and the origin of features of glacial landscapes. Student exercises are included. This new edition builds on the successful first edition: it has been completely updated, and important new sections and whole chapters have been added. Principles of Glacier Mechanics is designed to be used as a primary textbook in upper division and graduate courses in glaciology, and can be used as either a primary or supplementary text in courses in glacial geology. Practising glacial geologists and glaciologists will also find it useful as a reference book.
Table of contents:
Preface Acknowledgements 1. Why study glaciers(?)33 2. Some basic concepts 3. Mass balance 4. Flow and fracture of a crystalline material 5. The velocity field in a glacier 6. Temperature distribution in polar ice sheets 7. The coupling between a glacier and its bed 8. Water flow in and under glaciers: geomorphic implications 9. Stress and deformation 10. Stress and velocity distribution in an idealized glacier 11. Numerical modeling 12. Applications of stress and deformation principles to classical problems 13. Finite strain and the origin of foliation 14. Response of glaciers to changes in mass balance References Index.
