Discussion of Subglacial Homework

 

Set the homework in context - This is a major processes of deposition- but the classic lodgement is only a small part of it.

After the lodgment - what next - Bennett and Glasser as well and Savage and Lowell gives an overview of the sequence .

 

 

Definations:

Till Curl

Dewatering may be a problem.

Subglacial Stratigraphy, Alberta, Canada

 

Question 1.

 

Get a scanned image of each "Ideal" sequence for direct comparison.

 

 

 

 

Question 2.

 

Set up links to cavities and flutes - diagrams from readings

Plastic Glacier Flow, Hargreaves Glacier, BC, Canada

 

 
Flutes, Bear Glacier, Alaska
Flutes, Saskatchewan Glacier, Banff Park, Canada
Flutes at the Equilibrium Line, Iceland 1
Flutes at the Equilibrium Line, Iceland 2
Small Moraine and Flutes, AK

 

 

Question 3. (Bonus)

Can only lodgement tills become overconsolidated?

Other ways "soils" can become overconsolidated?

What happens if water remains trapped in the matrix?

The Paul - Boulton thing.
