An Examination of the Lliboutry Theory of Glacier Sliding
Abstract An examination is made of the Lliboutry theory of glacier sliding. It is concluded that this theory is incompletely developed and therefore it is impossible at present to make meaningful predictions of the sliding velocity from it that might be compared with field data.
