Featuring step-by-step development of the physics and of the equations necessary to understand various aspects of glacier behaviour and providing interpretations of the equations to clarify the physics behind the mathematics. This book presents applications of the theory to the interpretation of glacial landforms, such as the origin of Thule-Baffin moraines, role of basal temperature distribution in determining locations of glacial erosion by abrasion and quarrying, and the response of glaciers to climatic change.
