A hypothesis on the relative roles of crushing and abrasion in the mechanical genesis of a glacial sediment

Relatively new techniques of optical microscopy and interferometry have been used combined with fractal and modal analyses to study possible deformation mechanisms in glacial sediment from Langjökull, Iceland. Previous studies have shown that the Langjökull till has reached an ultimate grading durin...
