First-Order Stresses and Deformations in Glaciers and Ice Sheets

Abstract It appears that the well-known theory describing flow of glaciers and ice sheets over undulations is defective with regard to the precise form of the field equations and boundary conditions to be applied. In particular, when surface-wave phenomena are to be described the formulation of Budd...

Description
Summary:Abstract It appears that the well-known theory describing flow of glaciers and ice sheets over undulations is defective with regard to the precise form of the field equations and boundary conditions to be applied. In particular, when surface-wave phenomena are to be described the formulation of Budd does not seem to be applicable.
