Flow Rates and Secondary Structures of Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, New Zealand
Abstract Measurements have been made of the flow rates of two adjacent glaciers in Westland, New Zealand. A longitudinal flow foliation is developed in one (Franz Josef Glacier) and this was found to be associated with more or less constant rates of flow down the length of the glacier tongue. In the...

Abstract Measurements have been made of the flow rates of two adjacent glaciers in Westland, New Zealand. A longitudinal flow foliation is developed in one (Franz Josef Glacier) and this was found to be associated with more or less constant rates of flow down the length of the glacier tongue. In the other (Fox Glacier) the foliation is of the transverse type and is associated with a high strain-rate in ice under compression with markedly decreasing rates of flow being found down the length of the glacier. The highest strain-rates are associated with tectonic dirt bands and thrusts. |
