Planar and Layered Structures in Glacial Ice
Abstract In metamorphic rocks a sharp distinction between planar structures (e g. in schiste) and layered structures (e.g. in banded gneisses) is generally made. This same distinction has not been maintained in descriptions of analogous structures in glacial ice. At least part of the problem lies wi...
