Episode 10: Glaciers - Do you want to build a really big snowman?


Listen Later

Hosts Jane and Ellen finish each other’s… sandwiches in this “Frozen” episode about glaciers. Glaciers are a body of moving ice that has been formed on land by the compaction and recrystallization of snow. They take forms like valley, ice sheet, or outlet, because, really, who’s going to tell them not to. Learn why glaciers are more likely to form at the equator than at 30 degrees latitude north and south, and find out how glacial budget has its pluses and minuses. Let it go and enjoy this frosty episode.

Our main source for this episode is Process geomorphology (5th ed.), Ritter, Kochel, & Miller.

Music for It’s Sedimentary, My Dear is provided by Solar Sleighs.
