Glaciological constraints on protalus rampart development
The growth of protalus ramparts is self-limiting, as progressive thickening of a firn field will increase basal shear stress, encouraging creep of ice and basal sliding, and thus cause the transformation of stationary firn into a small glacier with consequent destruction or modification of the rampa...
