Description
Summary:Abstract Motion produced by ice expansion and by wind-blown ice cakes has modified the shores of lakes in northern New England, U.S.A. Twenty-six lakes have been studied, the processes observed, and measurements made of the rate and extent of ice action. Conclusions as to the effectiveness of the two processes are brought out.
