The locations and relations of the glaciers studied are shown in Figures 1, 5, 10, and 11. Dates of significant observations are given in the captions of photographic illustrations.PURPOSE OF STUDYThe primary purpose of this Alaskan work was the comparison of the shaped and striated boulders produced by river ice during ice jams in sub-arctic rivers with similar boulders produced by modem valley glaciers and with those found in various southeastern States. The latter are thought to be the product of river ice during Pleistocene . . . This content is PDF only. Please click on the PDF icon to access.
