Book excerpt: Excerpt from Characteristics of Existing Glaciers It has been the common practice to treat the subject of glaciation as if all ice masses having inherent motion of whatever nature were governed by the same laws. Thus the most recent and authoritative work upon the subject has treated the glaciers of Greenland and Switzerland together. The aim of the present work has been rather to emphasize the wide differences in other than dimensional respects which separate such bodies, and to show that the law's which govern their nourishment and depletion, and their reaction with the lithosphere as well, are by no means identical. The broad line of cleavage is found to he between those glaciers which completely cover a considerable portion of the rock surface, and have the form of a flat dome or shield, and the remaining types. These latter glaciers being all restricted to maintain districts have been designated mountain glaciers, and they have been found to bear very simple relations to each other, dependent upon the measure of their nourishment and waste. Alimentation being in turn dependent upon climatic conditions, all are brought in order within the cycle of changes which correspond to a period of increasingly rigorous climate followed in turn by more genial conditions - the cycle of glaciation. Throughout the attempt has been to emphasize the broader physiographic elements of the problem and to show the relations to alimentation and depletion.

This book was released on 2016-12-02 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Existing Glaciers of the United States The formation of glaciers in any region depends primarily on the fact that the amount of snow precipitated during a term of years exceeds the amount dissipated by melting and evaporation. In this manner snow bank of broad extent are formed, the lower portions of which become compacted into ice. The change from snow to ice is known to result from pressure, and as ice is mobile under pressure, either by reason of its inherent plasticity or as a result of regelation, the weight of this mass tends to change its form, and it thus acquires motion, which takes the direction of least resistance. The essential characteristic of glaciers seems to be that they result from the consolidation of snow in regions of secular accumulation, i. Above the snow-line, and ow to regions of dissipation, i. Below the snow-line. From these primary conditions result a multitude of second ary phenomena. For convenience of reference we will divide glaciers into alpine and continental; not that the two classes are alway distinct and separable, but for the reason that typical examples of each are well characterized and capable of specific description. Variations occur in each class which may suggest minor subdivisions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Glaciers of Switzerland and North Wales Ever since the publication of De Saussure's great work on the Alps, the subject of glaciers has claimed a considerable and increasing share of the attention of scientific writers. The gathering of the snow in the higher mountain regions, its conversion into solid ice, the inner structure and movements of glaciers, their ancient extension and erosive action on their rocky beds, the origin of crevasses, moraines, and many other attendant phenomena, have all been the subjects of discussion; and in the writings of De Saussure, Charpentier, Agassiz, and James Forbes, the charms of style and Bgraphic; 1kastration have invested these questions with. An interest felt far beyond the circle of purely. Scientific readers. The subject has, how ev'er, many bearings besides those relating to existing glaciers, and in the following pages I propose chieﬂy to confine myself to that part 0 of the history and antiquities of the glacier world the origin of which, though lost 1n the far backward and abysm of time, yet, in a. Geological sense, so little preceded our own day, that the larger contours of hill and valley as they yet stand were already in existence, and probably all the forms of mollusca now living even then inhabited the northern seas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oberland and Its Glaciers: Explored and Illustrated With Ice-Axe and Camera Books on Alpine travel and photographs of Alpine scenery have of late become so familiar to the public, that no suggestion for adding to the number of either would ever have been seriously entertained, had it not been for a belief that a new and useful combination, of the two might be made. The writer has often found that people who have never seen a glacier, however keenly they may be interested in glacier theory for its own sake, and in mountain adventure on behalf of their friends, are unable to obtain any clear idea of what a glacier really is, except from elaborate viva voce explanation of Alpine pictures. Professor Tyndall's Glaciers of the Alps, the most lucid in style of all works on glacier theory, was written mainly to enunciate an entirely new doctrine, and therefore contains much of argument and controversy, which are unnecessary for a sufficient understanding of the subject by those who are content to take one set of opinions on.

The character of such formations is not unlike that of the river banks and terraces along the Merrimack, from its rise to the ocean. That these banks and terraces are the work of water, no one for a moment can question. But when we Speak simply of the action of water in producing these formations, we are not satisfied to stop here, for our belief goes further, and we seek to know the causes of these phenomena.

The norwegian-british Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1949 - 1952, was largely a product of his planning and organization. In the summer of 1952, following the meeting in Washington, he made a brief visit to Southeastern Alaska under the auspices of the American Geographical Society, supported by funds generously provided by the Office of Naval Research. His objective was to observe the principal glaciological fea tures of that area and to evaluate the studies being made there by-this Society and others, in order to further the development of a well-integrated international program of glaciological-climatological research.
