Steve:
Sounds like you've written the research proposal. But I suggest you do some
cut and pastes from the usual bull pile as the guys who sit on the funds
don't really like the plain English, two sentence jobs. And I'm sure as a
group we can think of some expensive way of describing the remote sensing
gear you mention. Oh and by the way we can provide some cool modelling
software...............

Subject: glacier strain
Hello Everybody,
I'm setting an exercise for students to calculate shear
strains in glaciers. I've tackled problems such as this
myself as a student, always under the impression that they
were based on actual experiments, but I don't have any
references to these.
Can anyone out there please help with references to real
examples of glacier strain experiments? The kind of thing
I'm thinking of is:
"In 1950 a group of structural geologists, thwarted by bad
weather and unable to complete their climb, instead hammer
their pitons into a glacier, in a line perpendicular to its
margins. In 1980 they come back to relocate the stakes with
a metal detctor and find that the stakes have been displaced
. . . "
with thanks in advance
Steve White
