valley glacier

Small valley glaciers form icefalls where they meet the trunk glacier.

Valley glaciers respond rapidly to climatic fluctuations with typical response times of 10-50 years.

They were deposited by valley glaciers coming from Orjen during the Ice age.

When enough snow accumulates it can flow out the opening of the bowl and form valley glaciers which may be several kilometers long.

It is an extensive area of interconnected valley glaciers from which the higher peaks rise as nunataks.

This means the large valley glaciers are rapidly retreating, as their mass is attempting to achieve equilibrium with the current climate.

The high peaks have been extensively glaciated, and most of the larger stream valleys held valley glaciers during the ice age.

Valley glaciers, which provide drainage for icefields, are also constrained by underlying topography.

The Dry Valley glaciers, he said, provide "a neat natural experiment to try to determine the kinds of stresses that are going on."

But the Hubbard, being a tidewater glacier, operates differently than valley glaciers, which do not empty into bodies of water.

True fjords are formed when valley glaciers retreat and water fills the void (due to land upheaval).

Much of the volcano is mantled by snow and ice and several valley glaciers radiate out from the flanks.

Ledoyoms produced large valley glaciers within outlet runoff valleys from the depressions at culmination stages of their development.

Most of Alaska's glaciers, numbering more than 2,000, are valley glaciers, which snake downhill between mountain ridges and are particularly sensitive to climate.

These two regions support glacier ice from mountain glaciers, valley glaciers and even smaller icecaps, which are usually located in higher mountainous regions.

Tightly confined "valley glaciers" do not exist on open tundra situations (such as this must have been at the time)especially if the glacier bed rises southwards.

When the last glacial period or Ice Age arrived, a series of four tremendous valley glaciers filled the upper basin of the Merced River.

Ice-free exposed bedrock and slopes often surround valley glaciers, providing snow and ice from above to accumulate on the glacier via avalanches.

As valley glaciers retreated, two lava flows erupted Clinker Peak, immediately north of Mt. Garibaldi.

During the oldest Postglacial Stage VII an ice-stream-network from valley glaciers joining each other, has completely covered the landscape.

In Ice Age long valley glaciers receded from Orjen to the Bay of Kotor and surrounding poljes.

Despite their proximity and importance to human populations, the mountain and valley glaciers of temperate latitudes amount to a small fraction of glacial ice on the earth.

A subglacial meltwater channel is a channel beneath an ice mass, like ice sheets and valley glaciers, roughly parallel to the main ice direction.

It nourishes dozens of valley glaciers that drain down both sides of the range, including the Tana, Miles, and Guyot glaciers.

The ice cap has been thinning and its valley glaciers have been retreating in recent decades related to rising summer and winter air temperatures across the eastern Arctic.
