Early Discoverers XXXIII: John Hardcastle on Glacier Motion and glacial Loess
Abstract In 1890–91 John Hardcastle presented his views on glacier motion and the climatic significance of loess deposits. He should be recognized as a significant pioneer in the study of glacier-flow mechanisms, and more particularly, as the initiator of the study of loess stratigraphy and the mult...

| Summary: | Abstract In 1890–91 John Hardcastle presented his views on glacier motion and the climatic significance of loess deposits. He should be recognized as a significant pioneer in the study of glacier-flow mechanisms, and more particularly, as the initiator of the study of loess stratigraphy and the multiple-event approach to the formation of loess deposits, especially glacial loess. |
