Glacial movement - examples!


In the recent pieces of work on 'glacial movement' and 'glacial mass balance' many of you did not include any examples to illustrate your points. Use the following links to find examples to illustrate you answers. Look for examples of advancing glaciers, retreating glaciers, data on accumulation and ablation. Start here with an animation illustrating glacial mass balance. Then check out the links on glacier mass balance and glacial retreat and this interesting note on glacial advance. Finally view the video of glacial advance made by PBS in America.
