Principles of Glacier Mechanics.
Hooke, Roger LeB.

Principles of Glacier Mechanics.[electronic resource]. - 2nd ed. - Cambridge :Cambridge University Press,2005. - 449 p.

Cover; Half-title; Ttile; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Preface to the first edition; Preface to the second edition; Physical constants relevant to ice; Derived SI units and conversion factors; Chapter 1 Why study glaciers?; Chapter 2 Some basic concepts; A note on units and coordinate axes; Glacier size, shape, and temperature; The condition of incompressibility; Stresses, strains, and strain rates; Chapter 3 Mass balance; The transformation of snow to ice; Snow stratigraphy; Mass balance principles; Climatic causes of mass balance fluctuations; The budget gradient

This new edition of a successful textbook is intended to give upper-level students the tools they need to understand modern glaciology. Practising geologists and glaciologists will also find it useful as a reference book. Relatively simple concepts are introduced first, followed by mathematically more sophisticated chapters. Student exercises are included.
