The Alps present a great variety of elevations and shapes, ranging from the folded sediments forming the low-lying pre-Alps that border the main range everywhere except in northwestern Italy to the crystalline massifs of the inner Alps that include the Belledonne and Mont Blanc in France, the...
In the valley, the still lively stream falls over the cliff, just like a piece of white silk hanging from the top of the cliff, forming a stunning winter waterfall landscape, which makes us most impressive. The ice layer shows blue-green color, and the shape is like the "frozen throne"...
Grand Plateau Glacier drains southwest from Mount Fairweather in southeast Alaska. The glacier advanced during the Little Ice age to the Alaskan coastline. Early maps from 1908 show no lake at the terminus of the glacier. The 1948 map (below) shows three small distinct lakes at the terminus of...
covering the slopes of the peaks as far as it can hang on to them, and filling up the upper wide kettle-shaped ends of the valleys forming widely extending fields of snow orfirnmeere.Secondly, the glaciers,
Theoretical considerations of the distribution of englacial debris in continental ice sheets show that only the glacier margin is likely to contain the necessary volumes of englacial debris for melt-out to be a significant diamict-forming process. However the application of thaw-consolidation theory ...
I can't tell how moving it is to open my email and see a picture of 1,500 Buddhist monks and nuns in the Himalayan kingdom of Ladakh forming a human 350 against the backdrop of the melting glaciers. This is not their fault, and yet they're stepping up to be part of the solution...
but the valley twisted out by the peak of the glacier is still visible. The huge mountain beside the glacier has been cut off by a quarter, forming a "big mouth" that swallows the heaven and the earth, but more like a piece of ice The belly opened by the dagger is as shocked as ...
As the Indian subcontinental plate continued to plunge beneath the former Tethys trench, the topmost layers of old Gondwana metamorphic rocks peeled back over themselves for a long horizontal distance to the south, forming nappes. Wave after wave of nappes thrust southward over the Indian landmass ...
it is possible to image a 3D volume of the ice sheet or glacier. Planar beam-forming can be performed on the reflected seismic returns, as the returns will be in the far field [22,23]. By virtue of the small size of each node, and the absence of interconnecting cables, the whole se...
