Special issue : the geomorphic and climatic significance of rock glaciers

Auteur :
ACKERT, R.P. JR

Description :
At Galena Creek, the ice/debris system has alternated between rock glacier and debris-covered glacier modes due to changes in the size of the accumulation area. These results have important implications for paleoclimatic studies of the ice in the Galena Creek Rock Glacier.
